We noticed Zach chewing on his toy boat (bath toy) and that he had blood all over his face. We took it away and figured it was his gums, but I wanted to ask others if this was normal.

I'm not saying it's not normal but Coben has four teeth and we didn't have any blood and there was never blood with my daughter. I'd call to be sure.

There hasn't been any blood sense. He is breaking through the two top front teeth and one next to the top front.
