The elusive gap

It's official. It looks like Kate is going to have a gap between her two front teeth. When I was pregnant I remember looking at some pictures of Brett when he was little and noticing a sizable gap between his front teeth. I was shocked that he had this because there are no traces of it now due to braces. But, in the back of my head I knew this was genetic.

Now that Kate's two front teeth have come in it is evident that she also has this gap. I tried to get some pictures of it but couldn't. I will keep trying but in the meantime enjoy these pics of Kate playing in the backyard.

Oh and I don't have anything against people with gaps. Of course I don't think it is ideal. I do after all work in the esthetic dentistry industry. My mother reprimanded me for lamenting over this new found feature and added, "Tammy, what will you do if she is an ugly child?!" :)

I've also included some evidence to the gap gene.

Of course it also could just be normal baby teeth.
