Kenna's 1st tooth

We called Kenna "Sharky" for awhile because instead of coming in under her baby teeth, her two bottom teeth came behind so she had two rows of teeth. They came at least half-way in before we finally got them out. She wasn't as faithful of a tooth wiggler as Whitney so I had to wiggle on them every night. Dentist Mommy tried to tie a string and pop it out before it was ready, and it traumatized her so she didn't like me to even touch it after that. Mike says teeth pulling is my department. He's not up for that - but faithfully photographs me doing the dirty work. It finally got so loose that she turned it backwards and she still wouldn't pull it out. Once I convinced her it would stop bugging her if she just twisted it back around, she popped it right out and was very excited. (Forgetting how much pursuasion it took to get her there.) And shouted from the rooftops that she had pulled her own tooth. Crazy girl!





Yes, that is a jacket she is wearing, but not out of necessity. The girls have missed their winter clothes and at random like to wear pants and jackets - just because even though it makes them sweaty. I, on the other hand, haven't worn pants since we moved here and only wear socks with my running shoes. It's a beautiful thing!

too cute! Jenna hasn't lost any teeth yet. I wonder if she will be a "sharky" too?

Good for you, Kenna! Losing teeth is awesome--Jimmy wishes he could lose some more, but that's mostly for the money the tooth fairy brings :).
And, what is up with Mike not messing with the loose teeth? What a wimp, Mike! Stop making your wife do everything! :)
