What's missing here?

Our biggest news is Liz is losing teeth at a rather rapid pace and it's hard for the Tooth Fairy to keep up.

Oddly enough, Liz doesn't pull out her teeth even when they're really loose. She lets them dangle and dangle. Her teacher even e-mailed us about it, and at one point the principal couldn't believe these teeth were still dangling there. Two teeth hung by an apparent thread for almost two weeks.

Finally, she lost these two, and then suddenly with no warning the second upper front tooth fell a day later. That's probably how it goes. Everyone keeps asking what the Tooth Fairy gives today and in the Hedger House, she is NOT keeping up with inflation. It's a handful of quarters and a few trinkets - kid jewlery and little things like that.

Our little baby is also growing. Chance is already looking like a mature baby at six months old. Yes, he turned six months last week. Hard to believe! He's doing great - rolling everywhere. He's not quite ready to sit up or crawl but we're sure it won't be long.

We're giving him some solids now and he enjoys that. Without further ado - here are a few pictures - at long last!



Here's Liz minus two teeth - the obvious one is the top left tooth.




It was Dr. Seuss week in recognition of his birthday and every day, there was another Seuss event. On this day, she dressed as Sally from Hat in the Cat.



Here's a couple of pictures of Chance. He's still quite wobbly when he tries to sit up and is content to lay around rolling here or there.





Now, here's the money shot - Liz missing BOTH top front teeth and the lower left. Looking at this picture, I can tell she now officially needs her bangs trimmed. It'll be the first haircut since her December trim.



I think she's surveying how she's going to gobble up those cherry tomatoes - minus so many teeth. Don't worry - she managed just fine.



Chance had just finished his yummy veggies - can you tell - complete with drool and orange goo all over his shirt. All in a good day for a 6-month old!

I can't believe how much older Lizzy looks now. Lisa, I really think that she looks more and more like you. Chance is the spitting image of Brian - for sure!

Please tell me that Liz lost her upper left incisor (one of the front teeth) and not her upper left molar? You worried me for a minute! Chance is adorable!

So cute Lisa! Can't get over how grown up Liz is! And Chance looks like a clone of his Daddy! Thanks for sharing the pics!

Lisa said...

Yes, Angela you're right. I made a big toothy mistake calling to the molar. OOPS!!! Thanks for catching it.

I'm sure he's a bundle of joy!

Lisa said...

Thanks to all my dental experts for correcting me about the MOLAR. Sorry about that. I wrote this without "fact-checking" the exact name of the tooth. OOPS!! I edited it and I think we're OK now.

I love Liz's whole ensemble. That girl has style. She looks precious with her missing teeth. I think it's too funny that she kept them in her mouth and did not pull on them until they fell out naturally. She is just adorable. And I think the tooth fairy did just fine!
As for Chance-wow is he a little cutie pie or what? He is just too much too take! CUTE!!!!

Oh my goodness, Miss Liz looks all grown up! Taylor's been losing teeth as well, but just the bottom two so far! Love the Sally outfit, Liz really pulled that one off! Chance is just too cute!

LOVE the pictures! Liz looked adorable in her pink headband and pink sweater and Chance is getting so big. Wow! I can't believe he's six months old.

Happy Spring!
