I don't think I had mentioned it here before, but Nadia's top canines came in recently. She now has 14 teeth after having 12 teeth for over 6 months. She'll probably be getting the last 6 teeth over the next 6 months (bottom canines and all four second molars). The other canine development is that I've decided her beloved doggy needs to stay in her crib. She just got too attached to him in that she wanted to be holding him 24 hours a day. This led to battles when she was eating as he wasn't allowed to join her in her highchair. This also proved to be a problem when potty training since she put him in her potty after she peed. So her two adjustments for the week will be only having doggy in the crib and only watching 30 minutes of tv or dvds a day.
Ian didn't have a good night last night. I really don't know why he is having such a regression in terms of sleeping at night, but it's VERY frustrating and exhausting! Last night he slept from 8:15-11:00pm, 12:00-1:40am, 2:05-3:00am, 3:35-4:30, and 5:35-6:20. So the one good thing was that he fell asleep 5 different segments in the Nap Nanny. That was a first. Unfortunately they were rather short. I was in bed for about 6.5 hours total, but it doesn't feel like it when it's chopped up so much. Plus I was getting used to getting at least 7 hours total two weeks ago. I am still longing for the day when I can get my usual 8-9 hours. I know it will probably be at least 3 more months until he sleeps 12 hours straight, but hopefully by the time he hits 4 months old he can be down to just one feeding between the hours of 9pm-6am so that I can get closer to 8 hours of sleep a night. I long for the day when I don't wake up with a splitting headache.
We didn't put Nadia to bed until 8pm last night since she had taken a later and longer (3 hour) nap. Even with the later bedtime, she was up at 6am this morning. She's already switched to the new time. I knew her sleeping in (she got up at 7:40 yesterday) wouldn't last. Since she got up before Ian (very rare), I took a shower before Nadia & I came down for breakfast. A shower isn't optional when one is going to work!
The first picture was from almost exactly one year ago (3-16-09). Hasn't she grown a lot in the past year! The last photo shows the way she usually wears her bunny ears - as a necklace, LOL!

It could be the three month sleep regression. A friend of mine had a baby three weeks before Holly was born, and around three months her baby started waking up a lot at night. I was all "Hah! Sucker!" until three weeks later when Holly did the same thing. I can't remember how long it lasted. It seemed like forever.
