Game Over

And the winner is....

Miss Becca.

I officially declare the tooth war over. All has been very quiet in the tooth front recently. Becca and Corbin both tied at 6. I have been watching Becca's bottom front gums closely waiting for her next teeth to emerge. And nothing. However, yesterday, I spotted something white in the back of her mouth. A piece a paper perhaps?! So I reached in to scoop the item out, only to discover a molar! What?! How was I not aware that she had a molar? I checked the other side- yep, there is one there too. Checked the bottom- and although it hasn't broken the gum, it is right there ready to make an appearance. I was bewildered. I can't believe Becca's molars are popping right through without me noticing. Crazy. We are still waiting for the rest of her bottom front teeth. Not that it matters, with two new molars through and two more coming, I do not think Corbin has a shot at catching up. Game over.

Doesn't she look so proud of herself:

Corbin takes the lead

Corbin pulls ahead of Becca in the on-going tooth war. Corbin 6, Becca 5.

5-5

In case you are keeping track, that is current score in the tooth vs tooth race. Becca has five teeth (and for the longest held the lead in the tooth race). And tonight, Corbin lost his fifth tooth to even the score at 5-5.

Trent had to show off his teeth too.

Binkys!

Becca has a new favorite toy: Her binky she rejected months ago, but continued to lay unused around the house (until now). She hasn't replaced thumbsucking with the binky, instead she uses the binky as a toy and then switches to her thumb to calm herself.



She mainly just enjoys bitting the binky, and unfortunately, that isn't the only thing she likes to bite lately. I have red marks up and down my arm to prove it- OUCH!

And even more toothiness

Are you tired of all the tooth post lately? (See here, here, here, here, and here.) Well, stick with me, I have more on the toothfront.

Today Corbin lost another tooth! This morning his front tooth was quite loose and crooked, but he was too nervous to pull it out. So there it hung all day long by the smallest amount and he looked pretty silly...
When Mark got home, we convinced him that the tooth was ready to come out. So ready in fact, that Becca could pull it out...

And with Mark's help, Becca did pull Corbin's tooth out.

Doesn't he look cute?

Continuing with our favorite topic.: I introduce you to Becca's pearly whites- all four, making their first photographic appearance
Look closely, they are in there.

Finally, Trent showing off his wonderful toothy smile! I wanted to make sure he was represented too

We have a tooth!

Yesterday, Becca's first tooth emerged- her bottom right one. The bottom left is close behind and should make its appearance sometime this week. I think the top two are not far behind. Since the tooth is not in enough to get a picture, these will have to do... Becca brushing her first tooth!
