Growing Up

Lenea will be 6 on December 31st...

Yesterday, she pulled out her first baby tooth, with the help of Makenna. She has atleast one more to follow shortly and a few more in the works for the coming months.

She was so brave about it and she looks so stinking cute.....She is so proud, showing everyone and has an obsession about the way it feels.

I did shed a few Mama tears though, as it seems whenever those baby teeth start to come out and the adult teeth emerge the "rest is history". What I mean is that the "baby" years really are gone now. My baby girl is growing up, too fast.

 This was just about 30 minutes before the tooth came out.

This is not a "real" photo, but a staged one. Makenna did help her pull it out though.

Proud moment. I pay $5 for the first tooth, as an incentive for our kiddos to pull it out. That first tooth can be a bit scary. But she did really well. The subsequent teeth get $2 each.
