Teeth (yes, that's plural!)


This past weekend, Kendal let a Cursillio retreat and Nana came up to help watch the twins. We noticed that Jackson had a white spot on his upper gum and assumed a tooth was on the way. However, Lauren realized that a bottom tooth had actually cut through when he bit her on the nose! He won't let us see the tooth, but it's definitely there. Today, Lauren was giving the kiddos a bath and thought she saw something in Carlisle's mouth. Turns out she has cut a tooth on the bottom gum as well! They are really on the same pace developmentally, which is surprising but really comforting for us. Note, the photo is not of either of the twins but one I shamelessly stole from Google since I can't get near either twin's mouth without them clamping their jaws tight.

The twins are also pulling up! Jackson mastered this skill first and actually pulled up all by himself for the very first time in the church nursery (Carolyn and Alvin, two church members, are our witnesses!). On Monday morning, Kendal went in to get a happily babbling Carlisle out of her crib and there she stood, hands on the rail, standing on her strong little legs. Crazy! Jackson has really continued to pull up while Carlisle, confident in her new skill, is happy to play with her toys. We've noticed that Jackson wants any toy Carlisle has, but C is pretty quick and can dodge his grabbing hands! She has done her share of toy stealing, too, so it looks like we're in for a long ride!

I was going to be very impressed that you got a photo of a tooth. We are still trying to get one of Ab's 2 bottom teeth. But her tongue is way too quick to block our attempts
