tooth question

[flea]

I think Dillo's first tooth is in, but if what I think is a tooth really is one, it's in a weird place - where I'd expect a canine. Dr. Google notes that the usual pattern is 8 incisors, then 4 molars, then canines, and that's what Casper did (she got her first tooth at 4 months, and canines at 18 or so.) Anybody heard of first teeth in weird places? Or could it be something other than a tooth? It's hard and sharp, and he's certainly been acting like a teether (i.e. yelling his fool head off inconsolably this afternoon - mr. flea is about to run out for infant tylenol.)

::waves:: I just noticed you friended me today! I am sometimes oblivious.

When is his next checkup? Six months? I wouldn't worry too much -- I think it has to be a tooth, although there might be a reason that one broke through first instead of the traditional bottom or top two. But it's worth mentioning to the doctor when you go next, especially if he simply seems to be teething -- drooling, fussy, etc.
