Night Waking - Teeth

LJ has been waking up a couple of times throughout the night (which has become unusual unless illness is involved) AND he's been waking for the day very early again. The later I attribute to the fact that the time change is looming ahead of us. Whoever invented daylight-savings time did not have young children. Actually, the time change should help...it is getting lighter earlier and I think that is why LJ has been waking up earlier. When we "spring forward" that should take care of that AND when he wakes at 5:45 - it'll be 6:45.

We finally got our explanation for the waking throughout the night as LJ is sprouting a new tooth. It is about time...he's had the same 6 teeth for a long time now. Currently, LJ has both of his central incisors (#1) on the top, both of his lateral incisors (#2) on the top, both of his central incisors (#1) on the bottom and is cutting the right central incisor (#2) on the bottom. According to this chart LJ *should* additionally have his left lateral incisor (#2), the cuspids (#3) and first molars (#4) on the bottom and the first molars (#4) on the top. But, he didn't cut his first tooth until he was 9 months old, so he's slow to cut his teeth. There is no reason to be concerned, but he still has over half his teeth to get, so more teething bouts are in our future!
