Peek-a-Boo, I see you!!

Everything I've read and everyone I've talked with says the bottom, middle teeth are the first to poke through, and we've been able to watch the two teeth make their way up his gum line. So, for the past month or so I've been waiting and watching for one of Max's bottom teeth to poke through. I just knew any day we'd see a pearly white poke through.
Well, I was partly right. Today, I was rubbing his gums and feeling for anything sharp when Max bit down on my finger. To my surprise, I felt something sharp on the top of my finger. That little stinker faked me out! He has a top, side tooth peeking through! It isn't one of the two center teeth. It's either his far left incisor or his canine. It's hard to tell because its his lone tooth and it's on the side of his mouth (and I'm not a dentist).
I guess Max just isn't going to do anything "by the book". He rolled over from him back to his belly first rather than belly to back; he said Mom-ma first rather than Dad-da (because babies usually say daddy first NO one really believes he said Mom-ma - but I swear, Kelly as my witness (and to his disappointment), he said Mom-ma clear as day); and now he's not getting his teeth in the "proper" order! I think I'm going to have to find some new baby books!
I tried to take some pictures but, they didn't turn out. (I had to put Max in his snug in tug to keep his hands from getting in the way. It was really funny.)

We had some more BIG news today. Molly and Shawn (and Ben) found out they are having a GIRL!!!! YAY, another girl in the McNulty family! We're so excited for them and just can't wait. She is still due the end of February.

What an exciting day!! Hope you all have a great weekend! and GO HOGS!

At first I thought, how weird? Then I remembered his dad IS Kelly so maybe that explains everything!
BTW- Cailynn said Mama first too!

Yay Max on your tooth!

I guess Max likes to keep things interesting! Maybe you should just write a book?
