Progression of a first tooth photo shoot.

I posted a blog just yesterday but had more pictures to share. Scroll down for the other recent photos.

(This was the 0-8 year old contest)

You are so funny mommy! (You can see her swollen gums anyway)

WE GOT IT!!!! It’s blurry but I don’t care at this point! First tooth visible, second tooth too low to really see, but it’s there.
