However, her mouth smells like blood

Beale is very excited to share this with you:

It’s kind of blurry, but if you look closely, you’ll see one tiny tooth in a mouth full of big girl teeth!

We love Beale’s new pearly whites, and are proud to report that we have saved FIVE baby teeth so far. Lisa (of Lisa-Hosta-And-Ellie fame (see sidebar) tells us that baby teeth are good luck for graduates. The one drawback to this is Beale’s bloody breath, which can ruin a meal after one exhale. We’re looking forward to the end of this transition to big girl hood.

Love from It’s a Grind in Sacramento,

Becka and Beale
