Both kids have been late teethers but Hailey seems to be taking it to an entirely new level. Really, it is fine for the most part - both kids seem to do well with getting new teeth - but it was starting to concern me that Hailey hadn't gotten her top canines yet. Her bottom ones came in around 25 months, so I thought the top ones would be in right behind them. Nope. I mentioned it to Marie and she said that she and Rob were both late getting their permanent top canines (Rob's had to be pulled in with braces) and that one of Rob's cousins didn't even have top canines. Now I was starting to get a little concerned. Hannah and I had a dentist appointment in mid August so I figured I would ask at that appointment. Luckily, to ease her Mommy's mind, she did finally start getting them this week. This is a full 6-12 months behind schedule but hey, better late than never. Now we are just waiting on the 2 year molars, which I expect will probably be in closer to 3. I do hope the kids get my teeth, since mine required no braces. They will definitely need glasses at some point (everyone on both sides of our family wears them) so I hope to at least save them from the braces experience.
By the way, Hannah has not lost any teeth yet. Her top tooth was a little loose for a while there but she must have just bumped it or something because it's not loose anymore.

If you want to know, I'm the only one in my family who doesn't wear glasses. Even my younger brother does! :-) So far I'm still going strong!
