16 months (almost)




Two distinct items are occurring @ our household this week.

1. Lil's sleep pattern is being affected by teething. Since about 9 months she's been predictable in her sleep pattern. Down around 7:30--up 12 hrs. later. Sporadically we've had some random early wake up calls, but overall she's a great night time sleeper. So we've wondered if this was coming, we've read/heard about the changes that can come along with teething. She does have 6 teeth now, but not until now has she it affected her. It comes in waves....no distinct pattern which keeps us on our toes. Sometimes its at bedtime, other times its a few hours after going to sleep or our favorite at 4am. We're trying to see what works best for her: rocking, swaying, holding, teething rings, pacifiers, frozen facecloths, frozen fruit & lastly motrin. We've yet to try teething tablets & didn't see any at Target yesterday.
I know most families with youngings may have experienced this earlier on, but I guess we are just vamping up for them all to come in soon or at least over the next few months & trying to figure out how to ease this transition for Lil & well, us too.

2. Secondly, she's urinating through her nighttime diapers now. Just thought I'd mention it....one day I might wonder did she do this? And well now its documented.

Teething sucks. I hope it's over fast! But that kid needs more teeth.

I heard about a recall on the teething tablets so that may be why Target was out. Logan has only wet through one diaper so far. We're defintely there with the teething...he has 12 and 4 more molars coming through! Wow 12 hrs...Logan never sleeps that long!!!
