We had a good run

I am sad to report that D's four-day stretch of sleeping through the night came to a bitter end last night. He woke up probably every 1.5 hours all night long. Ugh. So here I find myself today with bleary eyes struggling to function normally (guess I got spoiled from those four days!). I attribute his sleeplessness to some new teeth trying to come in, but let's be honest, that's what I've been saying since he was three months old! (I guess I was right some of the time...) I really do think it's his teeth this time though and I think I even have some semi-scientific evidence. The teeth usually come in in twos, right? Well, he has one huge molar on the bottom missing it's match... (Throw me a bone.) If anyone has any suggestions or advice on getting a good night's sleep, I'm all ears (unless it involves CIO...I am a firm unbeliever in this method).

Here are a few fun, new things D is doing now (there are so many that I forget half of them):

> puts a tissue to his nose and blows (he even got a booger the other night)
> offers limited participation in "The Itsy Bitsy Spider"
> crawls downstairs and plays without his parents knowing
> makes a "toot" noise with his mouth whenever he hears anything "tootish" (Paul's favorite)
> hides his toys then immediately looks at us and shrugs his shoulders as if to ask "Where did it go?"
