We lost our first tooth!
At seven years, one month old, Meg finally gave up one of her baby teeth. A month or so ago, those two on the bottom center both started getting a little wiggly, and though Meg has steadfastly resisted tugging on them, the one on the left finally gave up the ghost, with just the slightest bit of encouragement from Mama's fingers.
(As you may be able to see from the picture, Meg's two bottom center adult teeth already grew in behind her baby teeth, temporarily giving her a nice sharky look. This charming mutation, I'm afraid, came straight from my genes. But at least she's avoiding having the baby teeth pulled by the dentist, like I had. It's much more fun to lose a tooth at home.)
Looks like our Meggie's smile will never be the same!

One Year Old! How Can It Be?
How can it be, asks my Mama heart?
Well, this is how. First he was tiny. But not really so very tiny, since he started at 9 lbs., 6 oz.

Well, this is how. First he was tiny. But not really so very tiny, since he started at 9 lbs., 6 oz.
He got bigger and more alert...
and then he started smiling.
Then he really started smiling.
And crawling, and getting teeth...
And his eczema cleared up a LOT.
And he didn't wanna eat.
And then he wanted very much to eat.
And the whole time, he was adored by his entire family, who simply couldn't imagine what life would be if he wasn't in it.
Graham David, Mr. Peterson and Mr. Goodgame sing it well:
There once was a man who found him a treasure
Buried out under a tree
He sold all he had just to own it forever
The treasure was you, you see
You are a treasure of incalculable worth, little son. Every moment we have with you we cherish. Let's have a lot more moments, 'mkay?
Happy first birthday, boy.
