Chompers

Our family is getting lots of new teeth this week.  Emerson is getting her two front bottom teeth.  They are both coming in at the same time.  This is a first for our family.  Addie got her first tooth when she was 9 months old, it was one of her bottom front teeth, but the matching pair didn't come in until she was well over a year old and had many other teeth.  Charlotte was almost 10 months old and her first tooth was an upper lateral (usually don't come in until 6 other teeth have popped through).  Anyway, so far she seems to be sticking to the standard eruption pattern. 

Adeline is also getting some new teeth.  About a week ago she was complaining that her teeth hurt.  When I checked, I found that they were slightly wiggly!  A few days ago I checked to see if they were getting any wigglier.  They aren't, but I did notice that her two permanent teeth are starting to peek out behind her baby teeth.  Her mission is now to wiggle those two bottom teeth as much as she possibly can so that she can get them out before we have to get them pulled by the dentist.  I don't have high hopes for them, though, they are barely wiggly and she doesn't seem interested in wiggling them.

I can't believe Addy is old enough to be losing teeth! :O

It's strange how differently teeth come in. Oliver's came in exactly as expected, except the first one erupted at three and a half months.

I just had to comment, 'cause this is such a dental hygienist post. ^_^ Tooth conversations always make me think of you!

I can't believe she is old enough to be losing teeth either! It is really sad how excited I am about their teeth and the fact that they are getting the same teeth at the same time... one set permanent, one set primary. LOL
