That 'Splains It

Well, that explains the odd fussiness...Kate sprouted her THIRD tooth yesterday! We stupidly never suspected that her fussiness was due to teething...but here's why: most babies get the bottom two teeth first, then the top two front teeth next. So, when she was fussing last week/over the weekend, I was feeling her gums in the top CENTER of her mouth. Had I thought a little and run my finger over her entire top gum, I would've felt the new tooth which is one of her top canines.

Getting teeth out of order is not unheard of, and because all babies develop differently, I am not alarmed. I think she's gonna look pretty funky for a while, though with her top canines and nothing in the middle...can you all say "vampire baby?"

Of course this will be SO cute, so I'll take some pictures as soon as we can see it better.

She fussed a bit last night, but I think that's 'cause she feel asleep before she got much milk last night before bed...so I fed her at 9 and again at 1. Just call me Elsie the milk cow!
