Deja vu

I've been through this before...a mere two years ago, but man, this teething thing is relentless! I was able to get a pretty good look in Aubrey's mouth this morning and saw that, indeed, tooth #4 AND #5 are about to break through her gums. Both are on the top. I cannot believe the rapid fire pace at which these teeth are appearing. If memory serves me correctly (and that's kind of a long shot these days...) Sophia got her teeth at the pace of maybe one per month, but each one was worse than the previous one.

Aubrey got her first tooth on Dec 22nd and less than one month later she's already got three showing and will probably wake up with 2 more tomorrow. With that said, she's been handling it fine up until today. With a face this cute it's hard to get frustrated with her, but COME ON, AUBREY!!!

She's been waking up around 4AM every morning for the past four days and then having a really hard time staying asleep for more than 45 minutes at a time after that. I have to go into her room, find her paci and coax her back to sleep. She's fully awake just before 7 ready to start day. She hasn't taken more than one nap per day for the last week, but putting her to bed at night has been especially brutal. She simply doesn't want to be left alone in the crib to "face the pain" on her own. She cries so hard it breaks my heart to walk out of the room. She thinks she's clever when she turns over onto her belly and wails even louder so that either Will or I will go back into the room to rescue her.

Tonight it took over 4 hours for us to get her to fall asleep! I'll just leave it at that.
