Wow. He's already old enough to have a tooth?! Apparently, he is a bit young to be sprouting one just yet. It seems most babies tend to get their first tooth between 4 and 7 months of age. All babies are different though, and I have actually heard of babies being BORN with a tooth already breaking through!
It's such a weird sensation though when you place your finger on it. Other than maybe a bit more drool than normal, he doesn't seem to be too effected just yet. We have had a few rough nights over the past week, however, and are attributing them to this new phenomenon. We are also trying a variety of teething toys, but in the end the little guy just prefers his fingers!
He has become quite the wigglewort making it hard to snap some pictures, but you can see the tooth decently in these shots. It has little, sharp points, but I haven't felt anything yet when nursing him.
Fingers crossed that continues!
Can you believe Rory didn't cut her first tooth until a week before 8mo? Now she has 2 lower & 2 uppers, and I still can't feel anything, so don't worry (the random shoulder-bite, however, is a different story. ouch!). I'm impressed you were able to get such cute clear pics- took me forever before I could get a decent photo of hers! :)
