Teething pains

I'd thought minibeanie's toothing experience would be a breeze but I suppose that would have been too easy. To borrow the term used in birthing, his bottom right incissor has crowned! The peek-&-boo game with the tooth is now over as the very tip of the tooth could be seen. And so it was yesterday that minibeanie was a handful, fussy and crying uncharacteristically. Today, it was as if the dark cloud has blown over - he's happy and tolerated shopping in the humid market quite well.

On hindsight, it makes sense how he was making smacking sounds with his lips over the last couple of days and how he was biting hard onto his spoon. Now, as the tooth emerged, it looked as if he was pushing against the strange intruder with his tongue. How adorable!
