naaaa mannn.. i dont think you are..i am eager to learn...i was thinkin you were talking bout the 3 cusps on the pre-molar before, but i see what you are saying now...by the back part (3rd cusp)of the 6th toof being slightly exposed tells us he is at least 2 1/2 , and with the 4th toof being rounded down and the 5th and 6th toof cusps are still peaking, would put it right at about 2 1/2 years old?
