Sadly, however, I have not been able to ditch the few baby books around my house that tell me where Jack should be in the 80 different kinds of developing that he is currently doing and will do until he is like 22. So this is going to be a long 22 years of worrying. Basically, according to the books, Jack is a little behind in a few things.. for example, he has no teeth. I don't know any babies this age that have no teeth. So I look in the book. What does it say? Most babies have teeth by 10 months. Then I think, do I know anyone who never got their teeth? Really, I have never met anyone without teeth so I am pretty sure he'll get them. But since everything is controlled by your DNA and the DNA arrangement we get is seriously more random than the lottery, it seems theoretically possible that at least one person has never gotten their teeth. But I hope not.
On an unnrelated note, here is Jack in one of his favorite shirts:

here's the thing. once he gets some teeth, then you'll spend several years stressing about whether you are brushing them right. and then some years stressing about whether *he* is brushing them right. you can't win. I've heard that teething may follow parental patterns - did you guys sprout early or late? jack's so cute!
