teething tales

Ryan has finally lost teeth #3 & #4. Their absence makes a great toothless grin, don't you think? He managed to lose #3 at school with much wiggling, jiggling, and tugging. Tooth #4 -- the top front tooth -- took a lot of wiggling and a lot of tugging and finally got pulled out by Dad. His new tooth was already beginning to poke through, so I don't know why it took so long to come out, but it did. Ryan is now working on loosening up #5, his other front tooth, and #6 on the bottom.

Matthew has finally cut two molars. Hooray! Chewing with teeth is much easier than gumming everything. We're hoping he gets more teeth soon -- he's up to a grand total of 9!

A few weeks ago, Jared was eating dinner when something flew out of his mouth and across the floor -- a tooth! That was the easiest tooth to lose EVER! He will be seeing an oral surgeon later this month to decide when to pull out 5 teeth. It will probably happen in March and unfortunately won't be as fun to lose as the others.
