Time for the Tooth Fairy...Almost

Joey winced in pain last night and this morning when I brushed his teeth. I was alert enough this morning to ask him to let me see what the problem was. It turns out one of his lower middle 4 teeth is loose. Even though Jacob lost a tooth last week, I just wasn't prepared. Thankfully, he is excited. I asked him to please bring it to me if it falls out but explained that if it gets lost (swallowed), that we'll just write the tooth fairy a note and all will be well. I could just see him crying in horror that he'd missed out on his money because his tooth was lost.

Joey's first tooth was a bottom one, and it came in at 3.5 months (early) before I was even on the lookout for teeth. He'd been fussy for a few days (we was not a fussy baby), and Debbie suggested that I look in his mouth for a tooth. Not only did he have one, but it was 1/3 of the way in. No wonder he was upset. Sore gum for sure! Others followed quickly. None of them ever caused him to be very fussy. I think I only gave him Tylenol 2-3 times for all his baby teeth!

Here's a cute pic of him around the time the tooth came in.

Here's another around 6.5 months where you can actually see two bottom teeth in.

Yep, they grow up:-)

Hanging the Pictures

I hung my pictures at Coffee and Crepes tonight after work. It took me almost two hours to get them up. I was able to mostly use the cords and hangers that were in place, but I did have to get on the ladder and make a few additions and adjustments. I was able to hang 11 small 8X10 pics and 6 11X14 pics. All in all, I'm very happy with how it turned out. Now, you know me well enough to know that I took pictures. However, if you want to see, you'll have to stop in and see for yourself;-)

Cary Art Loop Friday Night

This is a reminder that my photography will be on display at Coffee and Crepes at the Crossroads shopping center in Cary from Wednesday, 2/27 - Monday 3/24.

I've been working on framing up pics for the show this week. Most are 8X10 prints in 11X14 frames, but a few are 11X14 prints in 16X20 frames. I sure hope I can get the pics/frames moved without breaking anything. There's a lot of glass! I'll be stopping in to hang the prints on my way home from work on Tuesday, 2/26...tomorrow! I'm excited.

If you have a few minutes this Friday night 2/29, please drop in to Coffee and Crepes for the Cary Art Loop from 6PM - 9PM. I'll be there to meet folks and talk about my pictures.

You can also view some of the pictures that will be on display by visiting my SmugMug site. The Best of the Best album contains quite a few of the prints that will be on display.

Is that a leprechaun?

No, but it is Joey and Johnny having a good time decorating for St. Patrick's Day. The rest of our pics from today are here.
