The two bottom front teeth will be the first to come in and this will be followed by the four upper teeth in four to eight weeks.

To help this you can vigorously massage the area for a few minutes or let him chew on a smooth, hard teething ring. Teething should not cause fever, diarrhea, sleeping problems or diaper rashes.

-	Balderdash is a bluffing game based around the definitions of obscure words. Players take turns to read out a word from a card, and the other players must make up fake definitions. All the definitions, including the real one are then read out and the players must make a stab at guessing which is the correct one. Points are awarded for those for get the right definition and for those whose fake definitions managed to fool other players. The heart of the game is that the real definitions are usually startling or amusing, and so the fake ones tend to be too, leading to an often hilarious game. There are expanded editions of this game like [gameid=1544] which offer bluffing categories beyond words.	+	Balderdash is a classic bluffing game. This version includes the categories: Peculiar People, Weird Words, Incredible Initials, Marvelous Movies, and Laughable Laws. The goal is to answer each question with your fictional answer. Make your answer believable enough to fool the other players and you score points for each vote your answer receives.

		+	The world of BattleLore meshes history and fantasy together - putting players in command of an array of miniature troops on the battlefields of a Medieval Europe Uchronia at the outset of the Hundred Years War. You'll need a mixture of good strategy, effective card play, and luck to win. Drawing on the strengths of [gameid=10630], Days of Wonder's newest game takes the time-tested Command and Colors system to a new level and offers gamers of many backgrounds a chance to fight medieval battles with a dose of epic fantasy. The game is expensive, but one look inside the large full of detailed miniatures, and you'll understand why.

	Zooloretto has won multiple award for best family game of the year in 2007, and it is easy to see why. Each player uses small, large, wild and exotic animals and their young to try to attract as many visitors as possible to their zoo. But be careful - the zoo must be carefully planned. Before you know it, you have too many animals and no more room for them. The simple rules and appealing theme makes this game a winner with gamers of all ages!

	Winner of the 2006 [[BoardGameGeek Golden Geek]] award for Family Game of the Year as well as multiple other boardgame awards, Ingenious is a fun, colorful tile-laying game. Each tile has two colorful symbols on it. Each turn, players place one tile down on the hexagonal board and score points for each identical symbol in imaginary rows emanating from each symbol. Players can build off of others' previously laid tiles to score a large number of points in one turn. However, in an unusual twist, players at the end of the game are scored on which of the six symbols they've scored the fewest points for. The rules are easy and well illustrated, but the game itself is both elegant and challenging.

	Most people have never seen a game like this before, and that's half of its attraction! A wooden race track, where players race little round wooden cars, moving them forward by flicking them in turns with their fingers. Sound great? It is! This unique game is sure to turn heads, and it is bound to be a hit with every one who tries it. Even younger children will enjoy it, but it is especially guaranteed to go over well with teens and adults. You can't go wrong with a gift like PitchCar! Plus, it's available in a smaller, less-expensive (about $40) version, too: [gameid=14254]!		Most people have never seen a game like this before, and that's half of its attraction!

-	Balderdash is a classic bluffing game. This version includes the categories: Peculiar People, Weird Words, Incredible Initials, Marvelous Movies, and Laughable Laws. The goal is to answer each question with your fictional answer. Make your answer believable enough to fool the other players and you score points for each vote your answer receives.	+	Balderdash is a bluffing game based around the definitions of obscure words. Players take turns to read out a word from a card, and the other players must make up fake definitions. All the definitions, including the real one are then read out and the players must make a stab at guessing which is the correct one. Points are awarded for those for get the right definition and for those whose fake definitions managed to fool other players. The heart of the game is that the real definitions are usually startling or amusing, and so the fake ones tend to be too, leading to an often hilarious game. There are expanded editions of this game like [gameid=1544] which offer bluffing categories beyond words.

-	The world of BattleLore meshes history and fantasy together - putting players in command of an array of miniature troops on the battlefields of a Medieval Europe Uchronia at the outset of the Hundred Years War. You'll need a mixture of good strategy, effective card play, and luck to win. Drawing on the strengths of [gameid=10630], Days of Wonder's newest game takes the time-tested Command and Colors system to a new level and offers gamers of many backgrounds a chance to fight medieval battles with a dose of epic fantasy. The game is expensive, but one look inside the large full of detailed miniatures, and you'll understand why.	+	Memoir '44 is a historical board game where players face off in some of the most important battles of World War II. You'll need a mixture of good strategy, effective card play, and luck to win.

The 144 amazingly detailed army miniatures make this game a beautiful game to look at too! Both children and adults will find something to love about this simple yet engaging war game!

	Most people have never seen a game like this before, and that's half of its attraction! A wooden race track, where players race little round wooden cars, moving them forward by flicking them in turns with their fingers. Sound great? It is! This unique game is sure to turn heads, and it is bound to be a hit with every one who tries it. Even younger children will enjoy it, but it is especially guaranteed to go over well with teens and adults. You can't go wrong with a gift like PitchCar! Plus, it's available in a smaller, less-expensive (about $40) version, too: [gameid=14254]!		Most people have never seen a game like this before, and that's half of its attraction!

	Winner of the 2006 [[BoardGameGeek Golden Geek]] award for Family Game of the Year as well as multiple other boardgame awards, Ingenious is a fun, colorful tile-laying game. Each tile has two colorful symbols on it. Each turn, players place one tile down on the hexagonal board and score points for each identical symbol in imaginary rows emanating from each symbol. Players can build off of others' previously laid tiles to score a large number of points in one turn. However, in an unusual twist, players at the end of the game are scored on which of the six symbols they've scored the fewest points for. The rules are easy and well illustrated, but the game itself is both elegant and challenging.
