So guess what… I put Kate to bed at 8:15 last night and she slept until 11:45. I shit you not. I sat in bed and talked with my hubby, then read for a while and played on my phone. I’m so happy those teeth came through!!! I fed her at 11:45 and then I think at around 2:30 she woke up again. I’m not entirely sure after that. At some point I stayed with her, as she was fussing through the early morning hours and I wanted us both to sleep until 8 if possible (and we did). I really really hope the 8-midnight thing sticks! Wouldn’t that be flipping awesome!<\/p>\n
(Of course, then more teeth will come. But at least now I know what to expect!)<\/p>\n
I just feel so relieved that there was some reason for the weirdness and frustration.<\/p>\n

At Kate’s 9 month appointment I mentioned to the doctor how she still wasn’t using any consonants or babbling. She shrieked all the time, lots of vowel sounds, raspberries, and other various noises… but no consonants. I wasn’t concerned<\/i>, just mindful. I wanted to mention it, just in case. He wasn’t worried either, just said we’ll check in again at her 1 year appointment to see how she’s doing.<\/p>\n
Of course two days later something clicked and she started babbling. Just like that. One day she wasn’t, the next day she was. If I say “YA YA YA” to her she repeats it back to me. She’s also throwing in “b” “g” and “d” sounds.<\/p>\n
