I entered this My Digital Studio 12" x 12" scrapbook page into a digital contest that Stampin' Up! held.
I didn't win, BUT I did put myself out there and enter. I felt good about that and am happy to walk away with a super-cute page to record this special day with my little guy!
As noted in my journaling, Devlin had two teeth waiting to come out in this photo. He's never had luck with losing teeth on his own. The first two were pulled by his dentist. The only one that came out on its own was an accident (wrestling with a cousin) and the fourth was pulled by Daddy.
Devlin is currently being prepped for a palate expander. Apparently, it is a pretty common procedure, but this Mommy has already lost sleep over the whole thing. I worry too much. I'm sure he'll do just fine and the benefits far outweigh my worries. So far, he's done great with the rubberband spacers. On the 31st he'll get the palate expander put in and 6 months later a permanent retainer that will stay in for about a year. Then BRACES when he's about 12 years old.

Cute page, Kris! It's fun to see Devlin and how he's growing up. We went through the same thing with one of our boys! Just make sure his expander doesn't get left on his lunch tray at school!! We went through BAGS of lunch remains and found it in bag #13-Lucky it was a bright lime green! NOW we laugh about it!

This is one of my favorite MDS scrapbook pages of ALL time. The photo of the adorable child (my darling nephew) fits the motif perfectly. Hugs, M
