Lyall seems to be getting 5 new teeth at once, I was getting grumpy about his bad sleeping when I realized..oops!
I noticed when I had a look in his mouth he has a black spot on his top gum, the closest I can think to describe it is like a flat blood blister. Has anyone else seen this or even heard of it? Trying not to freak out here.. -------------

we has exactly the same thing when DD's top front teeth came through - it looked awfully painful, but went away as soon as the teeth came through (a couple of days later). Just like a blood blister but with old/black blood.
If you're worried, I'd go get it checked though? -------------

Had the karitane nurse look at the gum today and she said she said it could be pressure from the tooth or he could have bumped himself on something and not to worry unless it gets weepy or anything. Just gonna keep an eye on it. -------------
