She was so cute about this whole tooth ordeal! A few days ago she came up to me and said "Mom what's this?" She was rubbing her tongue on something in her mouth, so i said "I don't know open up and lets take a look", my first reaction was something like, "What the Heck!!!!!!!!!!!!" There was her adult tooth just jettin up behind her baby tooth, It looked so freaky. I could tell I was kinda scaring her so I tried to calm down as fast as I could and I said "oh, it looks like your getting a big kid tooth", I had no clue it was there! Her tooth has been loose for a while but not loose enough to yank out. I remembered this happening to my nephew so i called my Brother and Sis in law and asked them what they had to do, they said just wiggle the baby tooth til it comes out, then go see a dentist, but that the tooth should move into place as soon as the other one comes out and it has room.
Well, on Sunday afternoon Jarom and I talked Bailey into letting us wiggle her tooth and try to get it out. She wanted us to do it, but didn't want us to Yank... so we both just took turns wiggling at it trying to get it looser, At one point when I was working on it she said "Just get it out mommy! So I gave it a good yank, and sure enough out it came, at that instant I had a flood of emotions, I know it sounds silly, but I started to cry a little, along with Bailey. I think we both were so shocked and surprised we didn't know how to react. Here are some pictures...
The other first was Preslie eating real baby food! Peas to be specific, unfortunately nobody in this house likes Peas, but Preslie sure did, it was so cute. I'm sure if she could talk she would say, "What the Heck Mom, this is disgusting, give me some chocolate." But until then I guess I will keep crammin' the healthy stuff down her throat!

So, I was reading this post out loud to Carly and she asked me "Why was she crying?" I tried to explain to her how it is when your little baby grows up and how you can still remember when they were first born and just so tiny and you could just hold them and love them - anyway, I started crying too! Carly looked kind of confused and worried and said "Stop crying". I can't imagine what I'll be like when they start going off to school and losing teeth...and yikes, highschool!
p.s. I keep a few sheets of paper on my fridge and when my girls say something funny I try to remember to write in on those sheets of paper. (I got the idea from a friend.)
I feel the same way about them growing up so fast! It's funny cuz I posted about this same thing (minus the tooth ordeal!) yesterday too! I think its so cute you both were crying. Losing the first tooth is a BIG deal! I remember my Dad used to pull our loose teeth out with these certain pliers!! Everytime he got them out we were horrified! Obviously it never hurt, but at the time we were so scared. You did a great job and handled it so well. It's funny we never really think much of the little things we are going to have to do as parents that our parents did for us. I don't know what I will do once its my turn to play the toothfairy! Loved the slide show, so cute!
Congrats on losing your first tooth, Bailey!
I probably would have cried too, Brooke. It seems like once you have kids, your emotions are always just barely under the surface. Cute pictures of both girls!
Milestones...love them...hate them! I love to see my kids accomplish new things and grow but at the same time it makes me want to just stop time and hold onto that moment!
