All Kinds of Dental Excitement

Ok, funny subject line, but true. One of the exciting things about having children that are 5 years apart in age is that Angel is losing her teeth as Monster is getting his. His fourth tooth popped through just today, and I know it was today because i checked this morning, and then this afternoon he was laughing and i caught sight of a little speck of white through the gums. In goes Mommy's finger, and sure enough... there it is. I can't wait til numbers 3 and 4 grow in enough to see properly and i will take pictures of his toothy grin. In the mean time, here are some older pictures of his first two teeth

The day before yesterday... so Wednesday... Angel lost her first tooth!! she is 5 1/2, it is a little early, but we knew it was coming. He two lower front teeth have been lose for well over a month now. She was sleeping next door at her friend's house and she ran over to show us how lose it had gotten and then an hour later came back home to bring us the tooth!

It is the first time we have run into the toothfairy, and what a sucker she is! Angel got a "My Littlest Petshop" toy AND $5... I have told the toothfairy's funder that this is not happening with every tooth, that it is a first tooth special only! He agreed. But we will wait to see what happens shortly when tooth #2 falls out. sucker.
On another note entirely, earlier in the week Angel and I were going shopping just the two of us and she went upstairs to get dressed. *sigh* never send a 5 year old alone into her room to get dressed. I had to be seen in public with her wearing the halloween costume i made her when she was 2. 2!! *sigh* she made everyone smile. and i was smart enough to take a picture with which i plan to blackmail her at a later date :D

Just to keep it even.. Monster is standing! He is not yet 8 months old and if you put him in front of something, he will stand and hang on. But if you stand him up with something behind him, he will lean. Barely, he stands mostly on his own. I think this is amazing !
