Only a couple weeks after turning six, his very first tooth fell out! The tooth fairy came and left 10 kuai under his pillow. So exciting. Amazing how a simple thing like losing a tiny little tooth can be so exciting and yet bittersweet at the same time. I am excited for my son, but a little sad since this is my very last, 'first lost tooth'!
I LOVE THIS IDEA
As I mentioned in an earlier post, I'm thinking about starting a monthly 'linky' (meaning I will put a link at the bottom of the post where you can link up with a thumbnail of your photo which is posted on your blog) for the Family Photo x 12 idea. Check out my post here. Tara Whitney, a photographer in Orange County, California, who I have been a fan of for a number of years, did this with her family in 2010. She committed to taking one family photo, including all six members (nobody missing!) per month for the entire year. I love this idea and am doing it with my family this year. Our first two photos of the year are in the post mentioned above.
If you are interested in joining me, leave me a comment and if enough people are interested, I'll do the monthly linky here on the 5th of every month.
You can start any time you want. The important thing is that you take a photo of your whole family once a month.
LOTS GOING ON AT THE BLOG!
I have been so busy with this blog lately!
I have been posting a layout every day for LOAD (the Layout A Day challenge).
If any of you remember the blog hop on February 1st, I chose a give-a-way winner, but never posted a photo of the prize. Well, after lots of shopping during the New Year excitement over the last 10 days, I finally have the care package ready and I will be sending it off on Monday. A Photo of the goodies, coming soon.
I've been doing pretty good posting my Project Life (365 Photos) photos every Tuesday. I started three weeks ago and have yet to miss a week.
And on March 1st there will be a second One Little Word blog hop starting right HERE at my blog. So, plan to come back and be inspired by the students in Ali Edwards' class over at Big Picture Classes. I'll have a give-a-way too. A mini-kit of American Crafts Valentine line from 2009 (I think) - it will include patterned papers, ribbon, Thickers shapes, adhesive buttons/badges, and chipboard shapes. Perfect for those Valentine photos!
Thanks for stopping by!
Love that shot, Margie, I am wondering when Vivi's first tooth will go, too!

Oh, don't be so sad. Just cherish the moment forever! Besides, the tooth must've been kept by the tooth fairy, right? It'll stay with her. And when the time comes that she would want to reminisce the memory, the tooth would just be a pocket away. Btw, did he really take that photo? It was a great shot! :D
