Xander's first teeth!

Xander's first teeth are- gone! He finally lost his first baby teeth. I'm a little sad because I remember when they first came in. They were actually pulled by the dentist on Friday because his adult teeth were growing in behind his baby teeth and weren't loosening them at all. We had no idea! I was very surprised to see that one of them was almost completely in and Xander had never mentioned a new tooth growing in his mouth behind his other tooth. And it is growing far back in his mouth. And there's really no room for it up front even if his tongue manages to push it up by itself. I foresee some orthodontist's child going to college because of Xander's teeth.

Xander was very good for the dentist and very proud of his first lost teeth. He didn't complain much about the procedure or about being sore afterwards so I think it all went well. Here's the last picture of Xander with perfect front bottom teeth- ignore the crazy eyes! And the after shot.

Wow. I can't believe he kept his little toothy secret for that long! Kelsey saw the orthodontist for the first time a few weeks ago. She'll be getting a palate expander & a lip bumper in about 6 mos. After that, she'll be getting braces.
