Well after weeks of heavy drooling and chomping on everything she could get her hands on we *finally* spotted the top of the cutest little tooth emerging from Hazel's gums! It is just barely on its way out, but boy is it sharp! We noticed this week that Hazel has been a lot fussier than normal (and waking up a few times a night when previously she had not woken up at all) and figured it was mostly due to me going back to work last week (more on that in a second) but it turns out that it was probably because that little tooth was working on making its first appearance! I honestly can't believe how quickly these little milestones seem to be coming... our little newborn baby is no more.
As for work, I went back last week to try and wrap some more stuff up. Marshall starts his job October 1st and we knew that we weren't ready for me to go back to work just yet so I was in a really difficult place as my work wants me to make my final decision now. I think I found a way to buy some more time and return to work part time when Hazel is a bit older but I have to wait and see if it will actually work out. In some ways it was really nice being out of the house and having adult conversations, but in other ways it was not fun at all since I was not a big fan of having to pump during the day at work. Hazel is still completely on breastmilk and my goal was to make it to six months exclusively on it. However, our breastfeeding infection came back and she seems to want to eat all of the time now just to comfort the pain of teething so we have been toying with the idea of possibly introducing some solids a bit sooner (around five months instead). We still haven't decided yet, so we'll see how it all works out.
Also, we are on Skype now (and we leave it on most of the time) so call us whenever! If we are busy we won't answer, so don't worry about it being at an inconvenient time for us since we just won't pick up :-) We have two logins - one is TheSchottFam and the other is TheSchottFam2, so add them both!

For teething we have used Hyland's Homeopathic Teething Tablets. They dissolve instantly in the mouth so there is no concern about choking on them and they don't have a flavor. Zeke thought they were fun to eat... He never refused them and they work wonders!
You have to post a pic of the tooth!
show me the tooth! show me the tooth! we want the hillbilly!
Yikes, a tooth! I can't imagine how that is feeling on you, Lauri!
Two problems with posting a picture of the tooth:
1) It is so small and just barely coming out
2) Have you ever tried taking a picture of the inside of a four month old's mouth? Not easy!
Maybe once it is a bit more prominent I can catch it!
You need me to get the macro(up close) setting of the tooth! hahaha
