mason was barely 4 months old when he got his first tooth. we had taken him in for his well check and the doctor told us that was unusual but possible and was quite surprised when she opened his mouth and saw this....
5 years later, that very first tooth is now gone. i'm a little sad that my boy is getting so big.
so on to the story....
one afternoon last week we were having a fresh peach for a snack. i had gone to help sophie in the bathroom and when i came back out mason ran up to me and showed me that his tooth was barely hanging on. i couldn't believe it! i didn't even know any of his teeth were loose. i told him to keep moving it so it would fall out soon. about 4 hours later after dinner, mason was eating a little chocolate treat. i had gone into the bathroom with loaf again and as i was going back to the living room mason runs up to me with his tooth in his hand!! say what?! in 4 hours time he had gone from a perfectly normal smile to missing one of his pearly whites. it was crazy but he was SO excited!! i tried to post the video of him right after he ate the peach but for some reason it had troubles uploading. so that night he put his tooth into an envelope and stuck it under his pillow. the next day he was just as excited to find a letter from the tooth fairy, some stickers and a couple of dollars in exchange for that his tooth. the tooth fairy was nice enough to let me keep his tooth to put in a journal i keep for each of my kids just as a little memory :)
love his bed-head in this picture!
in other news, this little cutie is just about 8 months old. man, has it been a tough 8 months. b has always been pretty fussy and not a great sleeper...at all...but she is getting better. she army crawls to get where she wants and is starting to get into trouble. the other day a few dvd's were scattered by the tv. i thought the kids had been going through them and forgot to put them back. the next day i caught this little culprit red handed. she hasn't pulled herself upright yet but she can get about half her body off the floor when she tries. she still doesn't have any teeth which is a huge shocker!! she loves to squeal and play with mason and sophie and she loves bath time. i think she looks a lot like mason did as a baby but her eyes are blue like sophies :)
remember that beautiful dark hair she was born with? yeah its gone. i'm so sad about that. i love, love, loved that hair. now its just about the same color as mine.
here is a comparison....
so sweet :)
i just threw this picture in to prove to my kids that at one point in thier lives they loved each other enough to hold hands at breakfast :)
