Snaggle Tooth

Ahhh, bitter sweet. Reality is setting in that he is growing up! It's just a fact, losing teeth means growing up.

I've been teasing him all week that he looks like Nanny Mcphee, and he DID NOT like my comment! I guess he's scared that he could really end up looking like that! I've been catching him in the bathroom trying to push his tooth back in line with the rest of his teeth, but of course, it didn't work... poor baby.

As far as teeth pulling goes, Amos is by far the toughest of all the kiddos. He's begged me all weekend to yank it out, but it just wasn't quite ready.

But today...

He talked Daddy into...

I love it! Just in time for Kindergarten pictures!

Kent's Baptism

Sunday was the big day! Bless his little heart, he was so nervous.

Just before it was time for service to start, pastor Doug spoke with everyone being baptized. I'm not sure exactly what was said, but I did hear him remind the boys to hold their noses!

Here they are just waiting.



He wasn't crazy about wearing the one piece zip up suit! He shimmied out of it quickly!
