Bye Bye Baby


Kiah lost her first tooth. It has been wiggly for awhile now. She didn't tell me it was loose... I found out on my own. I was talking to her one day and it seemed like there was something in her mouth. At that instance I felt like I was looking back in time and forward to the future at the same time. I found an adult tooth coming in behind the baby tooth. I had this exact same problem. I actually had to have most of my front baby teeth pulled. Then I had to have braces because my teeth were too crowded... which is why my adult teeth started to grow in behind. So I took her in to see the dentist. He said her teeth look great, but she will need braces some day.

Sometimes it is amazing to me how similar Kiah is to me.  It is a little scary at times.  I was hoping the kids would luck out and get teeth more like Chris, but so far..... it isn't turning out that way.  I know what the future holds.

I love this picture. She is getting so grown up! It's crazy, she was so young when we first met you guys! It's going way too fast!

Seriously - Kiah is your twin. I know someone who could do her braces. Maybe he'd cut you a deal, cause he's nice like that. :) Chris

Chris... that would be great and fun.... except for the travel for the check-ups! Boy oh boy would it be fun to have Dave as our dentist!

We're having that problem too. Micah just got braces because of the crowding. He has to have teeth pulled on Tuesday. Oh well huh? Kiah is a cutie.
