Anna Grace is tongue tied. Tongue tied, is a
congenital oral anomaly which may decrease mobility of the tongue tip
[1] and is caused by an unusually short, thick
lingual frenulum, a membrane connecting the underside of the tongue to the floor of the mouth.
[2] Ankyloglossia varies in degree of severity from mild cases characterized by
mucous membrane bands to complete ankyloglossia whereby the
tongue is tethered to the floor of the
mouth.

(from wikipedia) We had it cut last Thursday.

Anna Grace recovering (eating ice)
She did wonderful! They put her to sleep just to not scare her. She was running around the house that morning! We have a "stick tongue out" session once a day, which both girls love. If we don't then it might grow back together.
