What's a Dentist?

The dentist.... this early?  That's what I thought too! 

Turns out Dr. Cremer, Izzy and now Colby's dentist said we started our little guy just at the right time.  Colby had gotten in 4 of his molars over the past couple of months.  Seems like we waited forever to see that first little tooth pop through.... now he is 8 teeth away from having a full mouth of them! 

 

This little guy.... just 2 days away from turning 17 months old was a pro at the dentist. 

The nurse came in first to brush Colby's teeth and then brush a foam over them to cut any tartar that had built up on them.  Colby laid in daddy's lap with his head in the nurses lap quietly while she brushed away. 

Then Dr Cremer came in and looked around in Colby's mouth... still... a perfect little gentleman.  It appears Colby will be getting in his "fang" teeth soon.  These are labeled as being the most painful for a toddler.  Mommy and Daddy aren't looking forward to that part as typically Colby gets a fever and is super cranky and tired just before a tooth reveals itself.  The fever scares us.... but mother mode kicks in and you do what you have to!

Colby walked out of the dentist with a new toothbrush and an alligator head cover.... as usual the toothbrush stayed in his mouth most of the time. 

If you ever come to visit.... you will notice small toothbrushes all over our house.... it's Colby's fetish I guess......
