Toothless!!

Gabriel noticed that he had his first loose tooth at the beginning of October. We thought it was pretty cool!! I took this picture when we noticed that the adult tooth was growing behind the baby one.


He wiggled and wiggled the tooth for weeks. He was starting to get impatient, too (gee...wonder where he gets his lack of patience). About 2 weeks ago, he said it was starting to bother him. It was really wiggly, and he was having a hard time biting. We offered to pull it for him. He freaked out and said he would deal with it.

On Monday night, Jon asked Gabe if he could see the wiggling. Gabe let him put his hand in his mouth, and then there was a look of shock. Daddy had pulled his tooth!! It took maybe 2 seconds, and at first he didn't even realize it was out. Once he did, he started screaming and jumping up and down - he was so excited! We had to call Gram, Gramps, Nana...everyone we could at 7:45pm.

Isn't his tiny little tooth cute?

My Big Boy. And his HUGE tooth! How in the heck did he get so big so fast? It doesn't seem possible to me that I have a kiddo old enough to lose teeth!
