Here we go again

She has no fever and doesn't show any signs of being sick. I gave her tylenol before she went to bed in case something hurt. Maybe another growth spurt????? I may go racking my brain trying to figure out why she does this every few weeks. Sorry for the complaining, just tired!! Want to

coasterqueen replied: How old is she again? I know what you mean,though. Megan has been waking up and staying up the last few nights and she just sits there smiling and wants to play.

Sarah&Mackenzie replied: She will be 9.5 months on Sunday

coasterqueen replied: Well she should have gone through a growth spurt at 9 months, if she didn't then she may be going through it a bit late. OR it could be developmental milestones which is probably more likely. I'm thinking that's Megan's case but not sure what milestone it would be. Or her's could be teething.

Hopefully it won't last long for either of us. I know I could use some 's too.

Sarah&Mackenzie replied: I have no clue if it is her teeth, that is why I give her the tylenol. She doesn't have any teeth yet so I have no clue how she will respond (if she ever gets her teeth) to getting them. Well here's to us getting some tonight!!!!

mysweetpeasWil&Wes replied: Do you think maybe she's hungry or thirsty? I know Wil started to eat more at that age...growth spurt! And it's so dry and hot here, that he's now waking up once a night for a few sips of water. He always falls right back to sleep afterwards.

My little guy has slept through the night since four months, but I do remember during several months he would all of a sudden wake up a lot. It would usually last for a few days and then go back to normal. I thought it was teething, but he still doesn't have any teeth (at 11 months!)...and doc said no sign of them yet either. So I just figure it was either growing pains or maybe just something that happened during the day to keep him up.

Sarah&Mackenzie replied: Well I hope it only lasts for a few days. The other night we tried to give her some juice and she barley took any. She has a 6 oz bottle before bed, so I wouldn't think she could be hungery. Well let's to hoping they get teeth soon, because I think Mackenzie is getting tired of baby food. She wants table foods!!!

mysweetpeasWil&Wes replied:
I have started to give Wil table food even though he doesn't have teeth. I've done it really gradually though. I started with small pieces of really soft fruit like pear and peaches. And now he's eating small pieces of meats like turkey and chicken. He also likes tortilla, but it all must be really small. He sucks on it long enough and I think their gums are pretty strong to get through it. But I still give him a lot of the #2 baby foods too because it's what he likes most.

Hope you guys all get some rest soon! Maybe your little one is getting teeth! BTW, don't know if I ever told you I love her middle name!

I was wondering if you were ever going to notice that!!!

Well I bought some infant motrin last night, because it last 6-8 hours and guess what she slept all night. Not a peep out of her. So something must have been hurting.

coasterqueen replied: Well Megan slept a lot better last night than she has the last few nights. Just not sure why she wasn't sleeping good. If it's a developmental milestone I haven't seen it yet, lol. If it's teeth..haven't seen them yet, lol. She is growing like a weed so it could be that.

mysweetpeasWil&Wes replied:
I was afraid I may have told you a thousand times already, so that's probably why I didn't say anything...lol...I forget things way too easily these days!! It's embarassing!

Glad you all slept well!
