But hula DD is 4 and the 3/4 yo pictures you have show much more length and volume than poor DD who is always requesting fancy styles that her friends have that are not really feasible for her. It is improving but slowly.

Hulababy · 19/06/2008 21:52

LOL @ DH. DD is so keen to have a wobbly tooth! Had to stop telling her that if she didn't clean her teeth properly they'd fall out - she saw it as a challenge! She checks all the time to see if one is wobbly, lol.

Been nosey now and had a peek. She is lovely - and that little bun is so sweet!

bozza · 19/06/2008 21:57

That bun was from last year. This year's was slightly easier. Actually, hula, you may not remember, but you have actually met her. It was at YSP but I think she was only about 6 weeks old. Most of the other photos are from last August so we do have a bit more hair now.

Oh btw sorry for completely hijacking the no teeth club with my tales of teeth. Do you want me to move onto the story of my crown?

You don't?

Hulababy · 19/06/2008 22:06

Well she has definitely gronwn up! She is so sweet

My eldest 3 were all late teethers, I remember the complete shock when dd4 produced her first teeth incredibly early at 10 months, it was such a shock! The others were 14-17 mths with their first.

Welcome to the Freak Show MH and CG

Any more!!?

I didn't get teeth til I was 2ish and I lost my 1st tooth at 9 and my last at 18 (!!!) The people in my halls at Uni thought it was halarious that I was losing a milk tooth at 18 - I did have visit from the Tooth Fairy though, bless 'em

ds1 was 16 months before first tooth appread. he is now 10 and some 'friends' still refer to how 'backward' he was
I really lost it once and said what a shame early teeth wasn't linked to good looks!

fullmoonfiend · 20/06/2008 10:29

Oh, his teeth, when they came through, were beautiful and strong and white and healthy. One of my friends' kids' teeth were rotten by age 4....!!

CaptainDippy · 20/06/2008 10:35

CaptainDippy · 20/06/2008 11:55

There's no "winning" here N3 - we're all part of a wonderfully exclusive "club" - we're a team!!

DD2 is 3 (last month) and she still has 2 molars to cut!!

Can I join?
My DD had no teeth until just after her first birthday when she suddenly cut 6 at once.
She's now two and still nowhere near a full set. There are at least 4 molars missing and she has no canines at all!
