a tooth, how about another tooth, and another one-- wait you missed the tooth coming in over here

Oh babies, and their mysterious sleep destroyers.


It's a lot like the great bottle fiasco of Fall 2010. I try a hundred different things, and in the end, Liam does it or he doesn't. We never got him to drink from a bottle, and the weeks before he could drink from a sippy cup were pretty hairy. In the same vein, we've been working on eliminating bad sleeping habits (nursing to sleep-- EVERY TIME-- replaced with music and book reading rituals), but sometimes he just can't sleep. So, I am trying to be flexible, let him nurse for comfort sometimes when he needs it, sleep with him when he needs it, but generally try to hold the line about sleeping in his own crib without too much screaming.

We've been thinking Liam is getting another tooth--- for the past two weeks, off and on. It's one or all (!) of the top four center ones and MAN are they taking their sweet time. I saw a bit of white where the side incisors will come in, so Gott sei dank! Maybe that means I can sleep in my own bed within the next week.


I bet he misses Jeremy, too.

But it's not all sleep woes around here, he gave me a wet willy yesterday, and every time I try to record him with the camera, this happens:
