First molar...

It looks like Molly's first molar has come in, her bottom left. This explains her waking up the past few nights. It started Friday night when she woke up around 4 and just wanted to be held. It's pretty unusual for her to get up in the middle of the night so I suspected it was teething related, but I thought it was in regards to the two teeth that popped through last week. She was up for about an hour and half and then proceeded to sleep in until almost 9. She actually fell asleep on N while he watched Battlestar and then cried herself to sleep when he put her back down. It didn't last long, maybe 5 minutes. Then Saturday night we drove back from Tahoe and Molly fell asleep right away (about 6:30 pm). She only woke up during our stop and slept pretty much the rest of the drive. She also slept through the transition to bed, but then woke up around 6:00 am. However, she then proceeded to have a 4 hour nap yesterday so something was going on. Then this morning she woke up a little after 5:00 am screaming. N took the first shift until 6:00 and then I took over until about 7:00 when she finally fell back asleep. Molly would only scream when we tried to put her back down. She just wanted to sleep on us in her rocker. She slept in until 9:30 or so and then went down for a two hour nap around 12:30. When I was changing her after her nap I noticed the molar had come in. Other than being a bit fussy during the night with some interrupted sleep she has given no other indication that she was teething. Hopefully the rest of the teeth come in with as little fan fare.

ahhh, we are waiting for about 4 teeth to come in... you can just see them below the surface. So far only 4 teeth, so I have a feeling when they come it will be all at once *sigh*.
