Month for Milestones!!

October was a big and busy month....

Milestones abound

Finley started walking!! 15 months old! She had been furniture walking for weeks and suddenly stood up in the kitchen, on her own, and walked!!! 8 steps I believe at first. We were all cheering her on! She was very excited. She hasn't looked back much since. I love this age. Everything is a new discovery and their excitement is contagious. Its such a joy....

She also has added a few words to her repertoire....Daddy, Momma, hi, hello, bye, uh oh, up. She has been a busy learner.....

 

 

 

 

And not to be outdone!! Chloe lost her first tooth!! Yes she is just 4.5..seemed early. She had a tooth loose for weeks, and I would check and check. Then I noticed she had her adult tooth growing in behind before the baby was out! I had never heard of such a think, but apparently its quite common. Affectionately known as "shark teeth".

Chloe has a second adult tooth, not coming behind some of her baby teeth. There are no other loose teeth at this time though.

 

 

 

So as the story goes, there is always a story....I have been watching Chloes loose tooth for a while, and this particular weekend it was basically benindg all the way down, but she would not let me pull it. So she goes to a birthday party with Jon and when she comes back I said " where did your tooth go", she instantly starts crying saying that daddy threw her tooth out!! apparently the tooth came out when she bit into her pizza and she handed it to Jon and didn't say anything. He though it was garbage and threw it out!!!! He felt so bad...he went back later and searched the garbage but to no avail. What a good daddy for trying!!

 

 

Chloe was very concerned that the Tooth Fairy would not know what happened to her tooth, so she wrote her a note and placed in under her pillow. Somehow, magically, the tooth fairy knew what happened and was still able to come!! She left Chloe $2 under her pillow!!! She was so excited that she made it, and snuck in without even waking her up!!! She came busting into my shower that morning to show me what she found! Cute pie....
