Sweetie, there's no such thing as "normal" when it comes to children! LOL My oldest had 4 teeth before he was 6 months. My daughter had 2 teeth at 6 months. My youngest is 6 months and we're still working on getting the first ones in! Each have their own time frame for development. Don't sweat it ... your LO is just fine!

My son got his first two bottoms before he was 6 months. It's even possible for babies to have a tooth at birth. So it's completely normal. My daughter got her first two teeth at 8 months. Now at 10 months she still only has the two bottoms but I can see her top two are starting to push down. Although they still haven't erupted yet.

So it can greatly vary from baby to baby.

Yes. Lots of babies start growing their teeth around that time.
