Here's a Hannah update, for anyone who cares: My little angel now appears to be cutting her third tooth. Her bottom two are about 75% in. The next one is top front right. There's a white spot there and she's been gnawing on things and looking pained for the last few days. She also broke her streak of 4 really good sleep nights but having several bad ones. That started right after we noticed the tooth. Oh well .. on to the next problem. She's still sleeping better than she did after that last ear infection. We're in the middle of trying to break the "nurse to sleep" habit once and for all. She now nurses earlier and plays until bedtime. The unintended consequence has become that she goes to bed later. We used to be able to get her to sleep whenever, since she almost always falls asleep while nursing. The process has not been easy and there's been a good deal for crying but I think it will be good for her in the long run. It hasn't been quite as difficult as I expected. Hannah has stopped with the incessant need to stand up in bed, which led to quite a few sleepless nights. However, her new trick is "sleep crawling." I put her down on the right side of the bed and within an hour she's crawled up to the left side and is cramped into one corner. She never wakes up when she does this and I generally find her fighting to try to crawl even further left. I go up a couple of times before I turn in, just to slide her down. Pretty funny stuff. I'll have to get it on video camera at some point. Okay, self-centered rant over :)
