Teething?? Still??

So I thought it would end when her bottom eye teeth came through. The toy chewing, suckers, books...thought it would ALL stop getting chomped on by the little lady.

Not so true.

EVERYTHING still goes in the mouth. Whether it be during meals, right after meals, before meals. Books are still getting their bindings chewed, toys are still constantly in the mouth...it's ridiculous.

And she's started biting ME!? Not nursing, but arms, fingers, toes, shoulder, HEAD. She chomped down yesterday when we were playing in her room and I said, "not acceptable" and as Mike gave his 'stern words' he started LAUGHING! Yes, she's very difficult to scold because she's so damn cute and I often catch myself just laughing at her as she's getting her stern words...but after she chomps my head?! MIKE....c'mon!! She has yet to break skin...but I really don't want this to transfer to other kids on the playground. I don't think she's ever bitten Mike, so should I feel special?

Yesterday she was going to town on ice and her teething ring..makes me wonder if there's not still tooth pain somewhere. It's too early for her 2 year molars, right?!

We went potty chair shopping yesterday. She seems to like the Baby Bjorn one the best. Most of them are SOOO low to the ground she was falling into them. It also seemed to have the best stability and I think the high back will come in handy. It also seems to have nice, easy to clean "lines" and seems to be boy friendly too if we ever have another kid/a boy. The ones that turn into step stools just confuse me...why would you want them moving the thing around after they use it?! We have a separate step stool for hand washing. Anyway, I don't think she'll train anytime soon as she really didn't like sitting in one spot for very long as we tested the seats, but she seemed pretty excited for new chairs! :) For $25-ish it seemed the most sturdy and easy to clean with no parts that could fall off (all nice points for us). Any suggestions?

A potty chair that transitions to the toilet is very nice. Makes it easier for kids to then sit on the toilet at someone else's house, too. Have the smaller seat in a ziploc bag and put it on the toilet and you don't need to worry about always having the potty chair with you. We did use a potty chair in the house on 71st street and kept it on the main level in case of emergency. We only had one bathroom and it was upstairs, and sometimes those little legs just couldn't make it in time.

Love you all!
