If Three's Company and Four's a Crowd . . .

What would eight be? For several months now, Connor has gladly shown off his two cute pearly white teeth with a great big grin. A couple of weeks ago, we noticed his two top teeth were starting to come in. But soon after that, we noticed that the teeth on either side of his top teeth were also coming in. Today, as Connor was looking up at me with his mouth wide open (practically begging for a bite of cookie) I noticed that now the two teeth on either side of his bottom teeth are now coming through. Talk about teething! Six teeth all coming in at the same time! Even so, he's remained in his usual state of happiness, so either he's used to the pain or he has a high tolerance for pain. Either way, he's a trooper! He just recently realized the newcomers and has started a charming habit of grinding his teeth together. I would compare it to nails on a chalkboard. From what I understand, his one-year molars are due to come in soon as well. He's going to have a mouth full of chompers before long.
