Teeth

I am truly fascinated by the teeth sprouting patterns of my children. Starting at three months, Madelynn's teeth came in with a Noah's ark theme; two by two. Two bottom, two top, two bottom, two top until her mouth was just full of them and I stopped paying attention. I really liked it that way, matchy-matchy and predictable, themes make me happy.

And then you have Evelynn, not a tooth in her head for a full six months plus and then...

What the fuck is that? No top teeth, three on the bottom, and two of them are crooked as hell. Where's the theme? Where's the matchy-matchy? Where's the freaking top teeth??

So I consulted the google and my littlest is in fact a teensy bit unusual. The mandibular lateral incisors usually come in after the upper incisors. So I was feeling around her top gums and I was horrified when I felt two bumps where the maxillary laterals should be. If she gets those before her upper incisors...

She did bite me with that crooked mandibular the other day. She bit me hard.
