Both Emma boo and Sofi loo got their first two bottom teeth at 6 months. Apparently, the timing is not genetic as I got mine at 4 months. My doctor has told me a theory that the later the teeth come in, the healthier the teeth will be. This is true in my case as I’ve had root canals on ALL my molars. Yes, I’m sure. Not to mention the implant I had at 22. Keeping my fingers and toes crossed that they inherit their dads strong healthy teeth.
Before their first two teeth, I remember wondering why they were so cranky. Finally, when the first tooth broke through I realized the poor little monkeys must have been in pain. At 8 months they got two more bottom teeth and tonight we discovered one top middle tooth and one tooth to the far left for each. The vampire fangs will be so cute!! 
Although both girls have been miss cranky pants they’re still sleeping through the night. I’m thankful and hope that by sharing this with you I will not change my luck. I have been told molars are a nightmare. Any suggestions on how to get through this phase?

How wonderful. I can not wait to see them, boos them, loose them all day long.
hmmm… Luke just got his first two bottom teeth at 5.5. I remember that most of my teeth were early (don’t remember baby teeth but permanent ones!). If it’s comforting, I’ve never had a cavity, never even had freezing/drilling in my mouth and I have all my wisdom teeth.
Lucky you! That’s good to know. Thanks Jules.
Teething sure is fun! I completely relate to you regarding the ‘why so cranky?’ confusion. I wish there was a bit more warning! I think initially for every red bum I thought for sure my son had a food allergy (that’s the downside of my nutrition background!). I use a homeopathic remedy called ‘Camilia’ by Boiron. It is a liquid, you give the baby a few drops and it seems to work like magic! It has helped me on a few nights that’s for sure and then you can save the Tylenol for the really bad times (a.k.a. MOLARS!!!!).
Cheers & enjoy those cute little teeth!

Laurie I’m so glad you commented on this topic. Thanks for your insight. I will have to purchase ‘Camilia’ for my girls. Can I get this at Noah’s as well?
Root canals on ALL YOUR MOLARS. I just died inside a little for you.
