The Quest for a Tooth (Teeth!) Photo, Part I

Before we begin on our quest, we have to share the SUPER cute outfit our friends Carson, Dee and Matt gave to Shae months ago -- and now that she's not a little kid anymore, she can finally wear! Thanks, Rings!

Now the quest for the ever-elusive tooth photo. We start by smiling at Shae, hoping for a smile in return... No dice.

There it is! But the angle is wrong, the lighting is wrong and the smile isn't quite big enough to show the teeth within.

Self-photo, anyone?

Closer... Shae is much more interested in the shutter of the camera than she is in showing us her teeth.

A different angle, perhaps? "Whatchya doing up there, mama?"

Oh so close!

Well they're definitely there, but all that drool is catching the light of the flash -- drat!

Starting over. New tactics.

The teensy weensy spider went up the water spout... almost!

Head, shoulders, knees and toes... closer!

15 renditions of "this little piggy went to market" later (or, in our version, "this little piggy went to Keystone") we scored! Thems are teeth! Check 'em and weep, suckers.

Okay, so you have to look ****very**** closely and realize that the two tiny white lines in the middle of Shae's bottom gumline are the teeth to which we are referring. What were you expecting? Bugs Bunny?
