New Tooth

Chloe has a tooth at 4 month and 3 days.

Chloe has given us numerous signs that there was a tooth on the way. Her #1 sign was the drooling. She can soak an outfit with her drooling, #2 sign she wants to gnaw on your hand and the #3 sign has been more saliva leading to her coughing or gagging.

Up to this point Chloe has been a 100 % breast-fed baby. I hope this early teething does not bring nursing to an end. I have really enjoyed nursing her and after those first couple of weeks it has been so easy to do.

We are thankful she has not been a crabby teeth er (at least not yet). The little guy (tooth er) is barely through her bottom gum. You can feel and you can see it, if you look real hard.

Stay tuned for more updates as we have a pediatrician appointment tomorrow. This is our week of doctor appointments. Today, Tony and Cleis both had appointments. Cleis received a GREAT report from Dr. Eid. We can drop her "Quack, Quacks" to one puff, morning and night. Dr. Eid was also very proud of how well she does her inhaler. He said, he's not seen many three - year olds do puffs and big deep breaths like Cleis can.

******UPDATE******
Chloe not only has one tooth, she has TWO. They are coming in at the same time. I noticed both of them while I was giving her a bath on this same night. Sweet little girl has had a rough week but honestly, you would never know it. She has been wonderful.
