my 9 month old has two bottom teeth and i just assumed they were "normal" but when I picked her up from daycare one of her "friends" at daycare tried to climb on me and I noticed his teeth were really close together and quite long and narrow. My LO has a small gap and her teeth are wide and short also the edge of her teeth aren't smooth. Is this an indication of how her adult teeth will be?

As they come in they shift some. My LO's front teeth came in with a gap but they shifted together.

Baby teeth are often spaced and space is good! The closer together baby teeth, the more likely there will be crowding in the permanent teeth and braces may be necessary.
The bumps on the top are completely normal and called "mamelons". They wear away with time.

@Mrsbells: my LO's teeth are exactly like you describe. Most of the babies I see have space between their teeth.

@plantains: @yellowbird: @Thehistoryofus: Ok thanks guys thats reassuring, I wasnt sure if there was something wrong with her teeth

I know, my son had this humongous gap between his front teeth and I was all worried, but, looks like all babies have hat.

@Mrsbells: Space is good! The more space they have now, the more room the adult teeth have to come in.
DD's teeth are super close together, which means she's probably taking after me and will need lots of orthodontics to correct later on. (I actually had to have some baby teeth removed to make room for adult teeth).
