No sleep, teeth?

Sunday she slept for eleven hours. Which was an anomaly. On top of not sleeping much anymore, Isabella's started to scream whenever it's sleep time. We've broken out the tylenol again - she's got four teeth, maybe working on another (?). I know she's really frustrated about crawling - she'll rock forward almost onto her tummy but doesn't quite want to get on all fours. Although it's amazing how far she can travel just rocking and scooting. Although today I actually saw knees move underneath her.

She loves to play pull up on the mommy climbing gym. Up, down, up, down. If she can't get to mom, she'll settle for leaning on the furniture.

She's eating three meals a day now, more or less. Mostly fruit - she snagged a peach yesterday and ate half of it. She loves to pick food up and eat it - gets very upset if you try to feed her. She's even got the concept of a spoon, sort of, although most of it ends up in her hair... And she's still nursing all the time!

We did a bit of oatmeal again, which involves washing baby from head to toe. She ate some off the spoon this time, but mostly just chewed on the end.

We tried a new strategy tonight. We let her play and play (started at 8, it's now nearly 10) on the bed. She rolled. She tried to crawl. She threw things. Climbed on mom and dad - dad's hair is great to hang onto. And.... splat! Out like a light. So now it's time for me, who has wanted to go to sleep since 7, to go do so.
