And the almighty saviour said on to thee...

Let there be teeth.

Finally after some 15.5 months, Owen finally has a tooth. Not only does he have a tooth, he has a fang! His canine decided to be the first to show up on scene. And now, not only does he have a fang, he has his front top tooth and the other fang is pushing through. All this in a matter of 4 days! When we go, we go big!

I have to admit the protruding fangs is pretty funny. Hard to get a photo of. I will try tonight but he isn't so willing to show off his pearly whites.

Of course, all this orthodontic work resulted in me being an exhausted mess for 5 days. We had no idea what was wrong with him, but he was up every three hours on a good night and every hour on a bad night. I am so grateful that he is sleeping through the night again, even while getting these two newest additions!

So three teeth on the top aren't particularly useful. But lack of teeth has never slowed Owen down. The only thing we are still holding off on are raw carrots. No big loss there.

Thank god this freak of nature has righted himself. No more stupid conversations with nosey parents asking why my son doesn't have teeth (the obvious answer being we are Satanists who don't deserve teeth and are forever being punished by the almighty God. Stay back purist less we gum you to death!). Praise Jesus!
