There are milestones that you expect, the ones that you work towards – the first time they smile, their first steps, their first words. Then, as they get older, there are more milestones that you tick off the list. Their first day at primary school, their first nativity play. All big special moments in their life that shows that time is passing and that your baby is growing up.
This week Meme had another milestone – she lost her first tooth. A huge milestone that, until we had our six monthly check up in the Dentist last Summer where he informed me that she would start losing her baby teeth, I hadn’t even thought about.
A few days before Christmas 2016 we were in our favourite cafe where Meme was eating cake when she suddenly started crying. Her tooth had become loose and I think she was a little shocked. Once we had assured her that it was fine and reminded her that the dentist had said she would start loosing her baby teeth soon, her fear turned to excitement. Fast forward a couple of months later and her tooth still hadn’t fell out. I was actually getting a little worried as the tooth behind the loose one had already starting coming though so the dentist encouraged Meme to keep wobbling it otherwise he would have to take it out.
Then, last Tuesday, the girls were in bed with me downstairs waiting for my husband to come home from work. The next minute I heard a lot of shouting. I went up to see what was going on and Meme and Harri were jumping up and down holding Meme’s tooth that had fallen out. Oh we were so excited – we got out the camera to take some pictures, we phoned Nana to tell her and waited for Daddy to come home to tell him. It makes me smile thinking about the night as we were all so happy – a memory I hope we will all remember.
Such a huge milestone and another reminder that my eldest baby is growing up (which makes me want to cry just a little). Of course, that night we also had a special visit from a very special fairy.
Aww Bless her 🙂 What a happy toothless smile 🙂 #MySundayPhoto
We’ve recently had this with Mia, she’s now onto the second one
Thank you for linking up
Certainly an important milestone. Our tooth fairy got very slack by the time the triplets teeth started tumbling!
It is such a big milestone I felt it so much with Eva and now she is about to lose her second too!
How adorable is this! I ended up having most of my baby teeth taken out by the dentist as mine just wouldn’t come free, she really looks so proud of herself here #TheOrdinaryMoments
Bless her for being so worried. I am glad she is excited about it now though – its such a cool thing for them to start losing teeth (despite being a little gross) haha what a big girl you have now x #ordinarymoments
Aww she looks rather pleased with her gap 🙂 Amy is desperate to lose a tooth and get a visit from the tooth fairy. I know she’ll be a bit nervous once it actually starts wobbling, though 😀 #livingarrows
Aww lovely. Max lost his first tooth not long ago and now has another wobbly one! x
Oh bless her, that’s adorable. I’ll be quite sad when Libby’s first tooth falls out, it seems like they’re growing up so fast.

I am so not ready for the losing teeth stage. It just shows that they really are growing up doesn’t it?! x
That’s such a big milestone. I’m sure my son will freak out when it happens to him. She looks super sweet toothless 🙂 #pointshoot
Aww so exciting! It’s funny how you dont think about those milestones later on. My little girl is only one and we have spent the last year concentrating on rolling, standing, waking etc. Can’t wait for the later ones where they can enjoy the excitement too! #pointshoot
What a beautiful photo of a very special moment. Thank you for linking up to #PointShoot ? i Hope you will come back again next week ?
What a gorgeous photo, and what a big milestone! My son is nearly 6 and still no wobbly teeth yet, but lots of the children in his class are sporting lovely gaps. I’m not sure I’m ready for it yet, it does feel like a really big marker of them getting older! x #LivingArrows
What a milestone! I had forgotten about these later ones. BattleKid has not long got his last ones and before we know it he will be losing them. #livingarrows
Ahhhh cute! They are so excited when they loose their first tooth
