Makenna Lost A Tooth!

On Wednesday evening (1/20) we noticed that the gum directly below Makenna's loose tooth had turned a bright red color. Concerned that something was wrong, we called Papa Ken to find out what we should do. He told Josh to pull the tooth to see if that would clear up the gum issue (which it did). Josh was so nervous about pulling her tooth... he didn't want to hurt her. Josh and Makenna worked on wiggling the tooth for a long time and got it really loose. Finally Josh just yanked it out with a kleenex. Makenna said a simple "Ow" but she didn't even realize it was missing until she ran her tongue across her teeth. She is so proud of the fact that she didn't cry ;) She was SO excited! We put her tooth under her pillow that night for the tooth fairy (actually she pulled it out and set it next to her pillow to make sure the tooth fairy didn't have a hard time finding it!) and she was excited to find a shiny $1 gold coin the next morning :) It's so cute to see her new gappy toothless smile! Our baby is getting so big! I remember when her first teeth came in and now she's losing them.


Trying to show me where she lost the tooth...


A little better view of her new gap...
