Piper's been experiencing an awkward phase lately. Her beautiful smile has been changing drastically in the past month or so. It all started with the bottom teeth, she has 4 new ones coming into a small crowded mouth. Those suckers are popping up in back of all the others and just look like they need a little space. Well about two weeks ago we noticed her top teeth just didn't look the same. It stared with a gap forming, then we had a mutant tooth sticking right out at us, as if it was waving hello every time she smiled. It finally got to the point that she would stop smiling but the offending tooth would still be sticking out of her closed lips. It was pretty darn funny! We got number one out without much of a problem but then the one next to it was really bizarre. It kept pushing down and outward but at an angle. So she had one missing tooth and one that was going sideways. It was not a pretty look so I went about trying to get it pulled out too. What an event, it was quite ready and still had a nerve connecting it. Poor sweetheart got scared once Mommy started the process. I had to hold her still while Jason finished plucking it out. Yes Mom, next time there is a loose one we will wait and let it find it's own way out.
Front view - actually not too bad
Side views - not quite right
And now, two weeks later all is filling in. It's so funny to watch her eat and once in a while she talks a bit funny too. Ahh growing pains...
