Now that Cubling is getting daily more proficient in mastering the first gear, even occasionally switching to second, night times are a new challenge. Mind you we had one night where she slept until 4am, not a cry or a whimper, just like that. Needless to say I woke up every 2 hours, sick with worry and needed to check she was still breathing. It was a one off though and we're back to teething and frequent night wakings accompanied by the pain version of crying. Poor soul. Now that she can crawl, she'll crawl as soon as she wakes, bumping into the bars of the cot. While before, she would often go back to sleep by herself after a minute of two of sleepy crying, now she wakes herself up properly, or rather, she gets stuck in a not so sleep inducing position which needs parental repositioning abilities to be remedied.

I can't wait until she can pull herself up and will spend the night standing.

When travelling, she now doesn't necessarily sleep in the car. She now sleeps when it's nap time. Which is nice, because it's predictable and allows planning each day. But it also means she won't sleep if it isn't naptime, and car journeys aren't exactly the stuff of excitement, so what does the bored baby do? Grind teeth. Hm.
