Totally unexpected

Well, this was somewhat unexpected.  For a couple of weeks NY's been gnawing on his fist, slobbering all over and having bouts of screaming.  Sounds like teething, but at three months?!  Shlomik only had his first tooth at seven months and while their behavior is different, what does that have to do with teeth.  NY was exactly one pound heavier than Shlomik but since when is that a criteria.
Was very surprised to find NY sporting a new fang this morning.
Gonna post pictures later.
