My Sweet Little Julia is Growing Up!!!

Julia lost her very first tooth last night! Right on the bottom middle if you look at the picture close....
She is such a trooper. Girls definitely have a higher pain tolerance than men do. Last night after she brushed her teeth I looked at them and said "you didn't brush hard enough...that tooth is still hanging in there" and to our surprise she just reached in and yanked it out...OUCH!! Blood everywhere and she wasn't phased by this at all... Isaac on the other hand can't eat for days leading up to his lose of a tooth because it hurts...He is won't wiggle it because it "hurts"!! He lost one a couple of days ago and it was just dangling there so I reached in and just yanked it for him before he knew what was happening... He has lost 6 teeth now! As far as poor Julia though I had not made her tooth fairy pillow yet...We just bought the fabric yesterday...so I was a day late and a dollar short on the pillow....Oh well!! Isaac was sweet and let her use his for the tooth fairy last night. After I think about how bad I am for not having her pillow done on time I remembered that I still haven't even filled in her baby book stating when she got her teeth.... I am so bad at that stuff....Her baby book has the first two pages I made with Karin and Shannon before I left Florida...Laura and Kaley have nothing!! I desperately need somebody to come up and do some scrap booking with me... I haven't done any since I moved!! Help!!! At least Kaley can just print the blog of her first year of life!
Laura was so excited last night!! She jumped up and down and danced around and screamed "Julia I am so happy for you!!"...she is such an exhorter... I love her enthusiasm.
Here is Julia's new tooth fairy pillow that I sewed up this afternoon...She has another loose tooth so I am sure it will be out in a few days at the rate she is going. The bag has the "Gold Dollar Bill Coin" in it as she calls it. The special coin the tooth fairy left her last night for her tooth...Check out the new hair cut too!! She in all her "Big girl greatness" went with daddy to the barber and got her hair cut too!! I didn't get a picture of it before I washed it so here it is... I will get a better one tomorrow... She loves short hair... I LOVE her with Long hair but, it is her hair so I let her do whatever she wants with it... She is happy to not have to brush so many knots out so I can't blame her... She is so like me... I cut mine off at least once a year and so does she... Laura is letting her hair grow... and SLOW does it grow...She wants LONG hair in the worst kind of way...She loves me to style it and brush it so I think she would be a great candidate for it if it ever grows...It has only grown like 2 inches the whole year... And Kaley grows all bangs... Nothing in the back just mobs right up front... I am ready to buzz hers off until something grows in the back...Maybe if her bangs grow long enough it will look like long hair in the back!! Girls and thier hair!!!! The never ending nightmare!!!

Give Julia a big hug for me!

My kids are opposite. Peter is the stoic one about pain and loose teeth in particular. Anne will not wiggle them and can be so ridiculous especially about her loose teeth!
