I find that losing teeth are a real indication of my kids growing. With 3 1/2 years between them they have been teething/loosing teeth at the same time for years it seems. Just three weeks ago S informed me her bottom left incisor was loose. Sure enough, after a week or so of wriggling, the tooth came out while she brushed her teeth at bedtime.
As if on cue, E announced her tooth was loose the next day. Bottom left front tooth. E took a different approach than S ever took--she kept working the tooth, wanting it to come out so badly. She even carried a box to school one day, to put the tooth in, in case it happened at school. But it didn't, it came out eating soft tacos at dinner the next day.
I told the girls they were both quite old getting their first teeth--about ten months. They were also both very quick to lose their first tooth, 5 1/2. In fact E is the first one in her class. The girls conclusion: our mouths don't like those baby teeth! They sure do look cute with those gaps though.
