More baby munchers

Jon is pretty good at keeping his top gum-line well hidden. And he doesn’t welcome probing advances in that particular area either. (Kudos to Daddy on getting this photo!)
Consequently we were slightly late in spotting the middle two of his top teeth — getting a glimpse of them for the first time about a month ago when they were already protruding slightly.
We did a little better with the third one which Tom caught sight of just as it broke the surface a couple of weeks back.
Something that is not necessarily easy to see in the above photo is the skewness of the incisor on the left (your right). It really has picked a funny angle.
Right next to it, is the gap in Jon’s top jaw that went with his cleft lip, so it’s not obvious that he’ll even have a fourth incisor – possibly just a gap in his milk teeth that will be fixed when they go back and graft some bone into his gum in about 6 years time. Shame, another op for our little guy… But it’ll give him pretty teeth!
