New Tooth

Cloosty has been stuck with just four teeth for quite some time now, although I can see that his eye-teeth are soon to make an appearance. Seems like it's taking a really long time for these suckers to erupt; but as we all know, all kids are different.

Yet, while we wait for those elusive front teeth to break on through to the other side, I noticed something the other day that I find amazing and proves that they are, in fact, different. I was, as usual, holding him (he's become semi-permanently attached lately) and was letting him lean back so he could be upside down. I got a really great view of his open mouth and saw something white in the top right part of his gums. I thought at first that it was food that had gotten stuck there - he had been eating crackers - so I stuck my finger in to clear it away (hey, I"m a mom and we do things like that) only to discover that it is a huge molar!

Hey! That's not the next tooth that's supposed to be, well, next!

But WOW! It's a BIG, HUGE tooth for such a small person! I'm not worried or anything, just surprised. No wonder he's been happy about eating lately. ;)
