I would say 1-1/2 by looking at the rack. What did he weigh? If he weighed under 130 I would still say 1-1/2.

This is what I say. You'd have to know the body size to know for sure.

Well, I believe if you look at his lower jaw and the first premolar has three cuspids instead of two, he's a 1.5 year old. Otherwise I'd guess 2.5.
