Teething, Cosby Show, and hot days

It's almost fall and it still feels like summer here in Portland! The temps this week might hit 90! Crazy. Since moving to Portland, I've found that the summers here are way more dry and sunny than people like to admit. The rain and overcast skies mostly occur during the winter and spring, which I don't mind at all. I love waking up to all the spooky fog and dampness.

Well, it looks like this week Gabe has some teeth coming in that I can see. His upper incisors are breaking through the gums. He is a bit cranky today; or at least has a shorter threshold for things. I have some homeopathic teething drops that work quite well; I would tell you all the name of it, but frankly I don't feel like getting up at the moment. Okay, fine. Gentle Naturals. I haven't given him Tylenol yet for pain. But we'll see when those start molars come in (!!!).

Speaking of teething, Gabe has his first dental appointment next week at Dr. Pike's office. Now, we're not getting the old Dr. Pike, but his son. I was assured that son of Pike is just as dedicated to the dental health and psychological well-being of children as father Pike. We'll be the judge of that!

I just posted an Examiner story about the 25th anniversary of The Cosby Show. It's one of my favorite sitcoms. I could watch those episodes over and over. Hope you like the story!

Son of Pike. LOL You crack me up with your comment about not wanting to get up, but then do.
Yay for teeth!
