Finally! More teeth!

Back last July the baby got a whole bunch of teeth all at once. She wound up with 2 on the bottom and 4 on top. And that was it. She has not sprouted even one little tiny tooth since then. And since she started getting teeth late anyway, I've been feeling a little worried.

Last night I slipped a finger into her mouth to check for foreign objects and found a tooth! It must have popped up Wednesday. I checked around in there and found three more teeth, ready to break through any day now.

Of course, having started off the whole tooth thing in her own way, she is continuing it in anything other than the typical fashion. Usually the next teeth to come in would be the ones next to the ones she already has. Not this little girl. No, she's getting in the four teeth that are on the other side of the ones that should be coming in.

In other words (if you care) she's skipping her canines and going straight to her molars (on the top.) On the bottom she's skipping her lateral incisor and sprouting her canines.

So, naturally, I'm having to fight off worries that her teeth will now come in crooked and getting them straight will take years and cost untold thousands. As if I didn't have enough to worry about. Hey, why borrow trouble when I can make my own?
