Big Man, Big Tooth

I have been trying to post this since the 10th of December when it happened but as usual time seems to fly by and now it is almost Christmas!  I think preparing for Christmas and taking care of a newborn has left us with little time for anything else!  So anyway, in the middle of all the craziness we managed to squeeze in a visit to see Santa.  Blake asked for Legos of course and Claire had a brain freeze and told him she didn't know what she wanted.  She later told the person running the sleigh ride by our house (that claimed he knew Santa) that she wanted 10 doll houses.  We shall see if Santa pulls through.  I have a feeling she might have to settle for one.  

The real deal, yes that is a real beard!

This day was exciting before we even saw Santa because Blake lost his first tooth!  I can't even believe he is old enough to lose teeth but it happened.  He was super excited to show us and tell all his friends at school.  His teacher gave him a special tooth necklace and he has told just about every person he runs into that he lost a tooth.  I think it is cool to have lost a tooth at school or something because he tells me which kids have already lost one.

He has a big tooth already coming in where the one fell out.  The crazy thing is that as I write this his other bottom front tooth is about to fall out.  I think he may have to sing "All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth".  Claire is already getting jealous and telling me her tooth is loose and falling out.  Hopefully she will get over this and won't pull out one of her teeth to be like her brother.

I still remember when Blake got his first tooth!
