Gabe's 1st tooth!

I also had to do another post because Gabe hit a milestone this week. He lost his first tooth! I should look in his baby book because it may have also been the first tooth he got! It is one of the bottom middle ones. He had started mentioning that his tooth hurt early last week, then he said it was feeling loose. For a couple days it just kind of looked normal but then by about Friday, I felt it and it was hanging by a thread. I asked him if he wanted me to pull it out (of course he said no!) and so I told him it would probably fall out on it's own in the next few days. Then on Saturday, June 9th, when he was with his grandma Rhodes in Ashton running around at the school gym, he said he felt a hole in his mouth and it was gone! He found it on the floor and picked it up and grandma sent him home with it in a plastic baggie. It was nice that Josh got home that night so he could be a part of the first tooth fairy visit in our house! :) He got a dollar from the tooth fairy under his pillow the next morning. Is that pretty standard these days? I don't know. I think I got that when I was a kid, but you know, with the economy being what it is, they say there's not much inflation over the past few years, so I figured it was still about the same. :) Here is toothless Gabe!
