Every time I take a photo of M, I wonder if it will be the last time she’ll have all of her baby teeth. I can only imagine that once she loses that first tooth she’s going to instantly look more grown up. That tooth is so loose but still hanging on. Oh my first born baby isn’t a baby anymore.

And then just like that the tooth is lost and the rite of passage is complete.

That thing that’s visible behind the space where the tooth used to be is the adult tooth more than half way grown in already. The same thing is happening behind the other bottom front tooth which is also loose.
