Yowsers!

It has been a difficult weekend for Dominic and his concerned parents. He has been the grumpiest I think I have ever seen him and it has been wreaking havoc with his sleeps (and ours by extension).

We figured it was teething as his top gums have been swollen and sore for a little while now but when the baby starts crying suddenly for no apparent reason, you start to get worried. Does he have a temperature? Why is he wriggling so much whe we try to take his temperature? Is he in some sort of horrendous pain? Is something dreadfully wrong with him?

However, before we had him carried off in the ambulance, we discovered the culprit. The corners of three teeth, all top ones, had all pushed their way through his gums today. Ouch! The triple teething pain of doom.

Interestingly enough we discovered one treatment more soothing than having teething gel and probably about as effective as pamol. Chomping a frozen pear ice cube and watching Magnum PI.

So for one contented hour he sat on me watching the imfamous moustache-toting, hawaiian-shirt wearing hero track down a transvestite* MI6 agent turned rogue assassin disguised as a nun trying to take out a head of state. Man, that show really is as awesome as I remember it. I loved the subplot about Magnum trying to beat Higgin's security system in the wine cellar to pinch an expensive bottle of wine or two. Higgins has alarms and tear gas in his wine cellar - awesome.

* Apparently being a British intelligence field agent who is really skilled at female impersonation can lead to you becoming too into wearing dresses and ensuing sex scandals. Once you're fired, what else are you going to do but become a hired killer?

Photo time!

A close up of Dominic's gums to show the terrifying top chompers of doom.


One of these photos is of Dominic, the other is of Tom Selleck. But which is which?
