In just one day, our Littlefoot has turned into a Sharptooth.Turns out Abby had a pretty good excuse for the fussiness, the runny nose and the fever we dealt with yesterday: a central incisor, making its grand delayed debut. (That's it peeking through the bottom gum line.)
We let her practice using her sharp little tooth last night and she seemed to enjoy being able to crack the Better Chedders we gave her to snack on. Now that she's got the right equipment, maybe she can learn to chew her food instead of swallowing it whole.
I was certain that Graham didn't have teeth...he was 16 1/2 months before he got his first tooth. He's now 22 months and has only 8 teeth! 4 of which have come in over the last month. It looks like he is working on 2 molars right now....but the kid can eat ANYTHING!! Good luck with an unhappy, teething baby! With Graham - I gave him cold celery to chew on b/c it was kinda gummy and he seemed to like the way it felt on his gums - PLUS he could hold it himself!
