All I want for Christmas are my two front teeth

So the week before Christmas Jackson turned in to a Fussy McFussy Pants which is not consistently characteristic of his personality.  He developed a high fever while visiting his "G" for Christmas and you could tell he was miserable.  Since we're such expert parents we used our super power of deductive reasoning to conclude that his two front teeth were trying to break through.  They were giving him a run for his money!
A friend of ours recommend herbal teething tablets.  I was skeptical, but these teething tablets have become our "magic pills".  They work like a charm! I'm tempted to try them myself, but haven't gone there yet.  The teething tablets came in handy until Christmas Eve when his first front tooth finally broke through and Jackson was back to his usual self.  Whew! He got lots of new toys, but one of his favorite toys was the "goodwill" toy from his cousins Abby and Emma.  They gave him their little tikes keyboard and he loves to bang on it and make noise.  It's the perfect gift!  Another great gift was also passed down from his cousins.  Pop's rocking chair from when he was a little boy has been passed down to each grandchild and now it's Jackson's turn to have it.  What a special gift!
