Skipping SEVEN & EIGHT... and on to the caNINE

We have all been waiting (im)patiently for Matty's 7th and 8th tooth to sprout for weeks. Well... at least that's what we expect. (Teething is the most popular self-consoling reason that all sleep-deprived parents cite after a spell of cranky nights.)

We know from the health booklet that the next 2 teeth to come along are at the front lower gum. But much to our surprise last night, we actually found Matty's upper left canine peeking out. Judging from the size of the pearly, it must have cut through the gum since 2 weeks ago. Haven't had much luck to get Matty to open his mouth wide enough for us to check for the upper right canine. Going to try again later this evening.

Maybe one day we are going to wake up in the morning only to realise that Matty has a mouth full of teeth. This is the result of us humans paying too close attention to one area and neglecting the others.
