Lindsay's Smile

Our first child has lost her first tooth! This is big news for our simple life! Her sweet baby smile is in the process of growing up. Here's some pictures to document the big event!





Oh, that tooth was SO ready to go!!




Tim helped remove the tooth with no problem. Lindsay was so excited she danced around the house! She put the baby tooth in a box under her pillow.


The Tooth Fairy made a stop by our house that night. When Lindsay woke up, she found a dollar under her pillow with a bow on it. Now, she can't wait until the next tooth comes out!

Emma is also trying to make her teeth wiggle to see if she can earn cash for teeth, too!

Monday Mornings


Monday mornings are not usually my favorite part of the week. But for Emma, Monday mornings are the highlight of HER week. Everyday, she's asking if it's Monday. The reason is, she and I go to Baby Bear gymnastics every Monday morning together and have a ball! It's a "mommy & me" type class where the parents help the 2 year old's run around and participate in beginning gymnastic skills.

Fortunately for me, it's not first thing in the morning. I can get a good morning cup of coffee before we head out the door for "nastics."

Here are some highlights of our Monday mornings...


Emma on the balance beam



She loves to swing like a monkey (above) and jump on the trampoline (below)!


They have an inflatable castle the kids can jump in and slide down. She spends a good part of the class jumping around in it and going down the slide again and again. In this picture she's looking out one of the holes the kids can climb through to get in the castle.

The class is well worth the time and money to let her get her energy out and have fun together. I guess Monday mornings aren't so bad after all!
