Imagine seeing their new back teeth

Have you ever tried to photograph a toddler’s back teeth? Neutering a cheetah is easier and about as cooperative. After weeks of trying, this is the best shot we could get. If you have been reading the blog over the last few weeks you know we have been addressing the side effects of cutting more teeth. Each boy has three new molars standing proudly above the gum now, but we can’t show them to you. We verified these teeth through a scientific procedure we call baby bird feeding. Sandy will hold a spoon full of food above their heads and when they hold their heads back and open their mouths like baby birds she looks inside for any new teeth. Unfortunately, they’re too smart to allow us to photograph them in this position, so this is the best shot we have.
