Little Miss A's New Smile

After looking like Nanny McPhee ALL day yesterday, Little Miss A's gums finally let go of tooth number 4...exactly one week after tooth number 3 fell out! Much like last week, Little Miss A wanted it come out "by itself!" As we were enjoying some ice cream, it fell out and like last time she just calmly announced the arrival. "Look at this..."

She looks so different without those top two baby teeth...sounds different too! :)

Mr. Wigglesworth

Months after Little Miss A had her first wiggle...Mr. D is joining in the fun. We felt his first wiggle this morning. Bottom right front! :) Now that his sister has lost 3, he is so excited to be sharing in the fun!

Another One Bites the Dust

Little Miss A's super wiggly front tooth, finally decided to make it's debut on New Year's day. She was dead set against having it pulled. She announced (very calmly, I might add) that she moved her tooth with her tongue and it just fell in her hand "without even bleeding" which was her big deal with having it pulled in the first place. Her right front was actually wiggly before the left, but the left fell out first. You can tell that her right front won't be far behind. :)

Bye Bye Baby

Well, Little Miss A's baby tooth #2 is officially gone. My sweet baby girl is becoming more and more grown up by the second. The dentist informed me when we went in for exams this week that her top two teeth are loose as well. *GASP!* My first thought was "Please hold on to those babies until we've had our school pictures in a month or so." The dentist said she would most likely still have them by then, but that they will probably be missing by Christmas. My darling daughter already has a mounting Christmas list in her desk drawer, I think she may be asking for her "2 front teeth" in addition to what she already has on her list! YIKES!!!

Tooth Fairy Treasures

Little Miss A awoke to a pillow covered with fairy dust and a $5 bill inside her tooth fairy pillow pocket. Needless-to-say, she was ecstatic and immediately began to ponder how to spend it. That's my girl. :) Holy crow, when I was growing up it was a quarter. Apparently, that's the 30 year inflation rate! WOW:)

Tooth Fairy Time!!!

While bouncing today, Little Miss A's most wobbly tooth got INCREDIBLY loose!! At lunch I noticed it flopping around, which I have to admit, kind of freaked me out. She could push it ALL the way forward, but couldn't push it back in the least.

This is the last picture (just before Daddy provided a little tooth pulling assistance tonight) of my baby girl with ALL of her baby teeth. (Does she look a little frightened, or is it just me?)

Two tugs and voila!!! A total transformation! She looks so much older to me, I can't even stand it. Even as I type this I am tearing up, my baby is growing up WAY too stinkin' fast!!!!!! :(

Little Miss A was so excited to break out her tooth fairy pillow!!!! Yes, the one that traveled with us on vacation just in case. :)

We can't wait to see what the tooth fairy brings her!! :)

Holding Strong

Little Miss A has had a loose tooth for a while now and I am crossing my fingers and toes that she actually holds onto it a little while longer. I would really like to be there when she looses her first one, and summertime almost guarantees that. I could totally see her coming home from school one day with a lost tooth that really is lost. Only a few more school days left. Even though it is SUPER wiggly, with the way she's nursing it, it may be next school year before it finally falls out anyway. :)

Speaking of teeth, the other day she found a new molar coming in and she's been playing with it non-stop ever since. She loves to use my make up mirror to check it out, she is constantly feeling it with her tongue and asking us to look and see if it's growing. :) So cute.

Little Miss A's Loose Tooth!!!

The kids had a dentist appointment this morning...a pediatric dentist in the neighborhood...how great is that? After J gave me the rundown of the new office, staff and dentist he started to tell me about the kids actual check up. I was SHOCKED to hear that Little Miss A has her first loose tooth!!!! Her bottom front left!!!! (A & D were SOOOOO late in getting their FIRST tooth, that I figured losing them was going to be a distant event...apparently not!) She is so excited!!! She knows exactly where her tooth fairy pillow is in her closet and can't wait to use it. (Her bff, Ken, has been losing teeth for years now and Little Miss A can't wait to join the club.) I don't think I'm ready though...that means my baby really is growing up. I'm definitely in denial. My daughter, as a pre-K student, is taller than almost every Kindergarten student on campus...I actually have some 2nd graders that are shorter than she is. I guess I need to get ready, growing up is happening sooner than I was really ready for.
