Carnivore

Aidan is almost officially ready for red meat. Not that he hasn't been eating it for months now, but his first molar is coming in which means that it will be much easier for him to chew that meat in a few weeks. Molar #1 is coming in on the top right (Aidan's right) and was giving Aidan a heck of a time last week. Cranky, drooling, and *we think* a stiff neck. Whenever something was going on to the right of Aidan, he would turn his whole body instead of just turning his head. That seems to have disappeared now that the molar has popped through. This will be tooth #7 for Aidan. He has the top front 4 and the bottom front 2. Technically he should have his bottom front 4 by now, but every kid is different and I'm not worried about it. They'll come in when they want to. What does worry me a little is the big gap between his two front teeth. I'm having visions of his Aunt Kali and her surgery to correct the muscle(?) or maybe extra skin(?) that didn't allow her teeth to be pushed together. Time will tell.
