Since late July Olivia has had 5 teeth, 3 on top and 2 on the bottom. We have gone through times where we swore that she was breaking new teeth. Only to discover nothing. Well, Friday night Ben was working at the bar and I stayed at Mommom's for dinner and so she could help give Olivia a bath before I had to pick up Mom from the airport. While we were drying Olivia off and she was screaming I noticed a little pointy thing on the bottom left side of her gums. I thought she was storing dinner for later since we had pasta, but I realized that it was indeed a molar. What? How can that be when she still doesn't have all of her front teeth?
Teeth have their own mind when coming in apparently and don't think they need to follow the order they tell you in the books. Ok minor freak out about missing teeth averted.
Moving on to Saturday night while at dinner at our friends house, while she was having her diaper changed Daddy found yet another molar. This one was on the top right. Let me clarify these teeth are not just peeking through her gums but fully surfaced. This explains why she was up several times a night crying last week, and her longer then normal naps. ( 2 - 2 1/2 hours)! Plus Daddy was able to see that she has 3 more teeth ready to pop through at any time. Those being the front ones.
Thankfully Olivia likes to take care of her teeth and has been brushing them daily for over 6 month's now. Each morning when she sees me getting my tooth brush ready she says, "deet, deet" and we get her tooth brush ready as well. She doesn't need much help either she does a great job, and at the end Daddy just makes sure that she didn't miss any spots.
