Breaking News...

This just in...Elizabeth Morton has lost her first tooth! On Wednesday, Matt helped her by wiggling, then pulling out, that tiny little baby tooth, leaving her with a fun space to stick her tongue. She was so proud (I would even say she was beaming) as she went up to her preschool the next day and showed off her bottom gum line. She was especially eager to tell everyone how the tooth fairy came to visit her and left her a little surprise.



We've been reading this book:



So E had some fun ideas about who the tooth fairy is and why she would want E's tooth. My baby is such a big girl now! I just can't believe it.

In other news, Samuel laughed for the first time yesterday. Oh my goodness, it was just precious. I was taking off his clothes to give him a bath, and as I was pulling his arm through his sleeve, I must have inadvertently tickled his little armpit because he giggled. So what did I do? The same thing any mommy would do, I think! I did it again hoping to hear another giggle. And he DID giggle. Not one to be too selfish, I quickly went and got Matt and the girls who were reading bedtime stories. They were excited, too. So it was so nice of SamSam to oblige and giggle for them as well.

It was one of those family moments you live for. So precious and so hard to replicate. I really just wanted to live in that moment for a long time.

Later Matt and I agreed: We really love our little family. :)
