Teething has officially begun. I've gotten some advice on some great remedies, I just need to go get them at a store. One would think that I would do this immediately, but wow, the minutes and hours and days and weeks are going so fast that I am finding it hard to get ANYTHING done. Having a baby is super great and awesome. Having tons of work outside and inside and a farm to pack up and move at the same time is crazy and impossible. I have constructed a large calendar list sort of deal that is propped on our piano with a weekly schedule of tasks and chores. The bulk of these things are to take place before Peter starts school in a month-both for the well-being of me here at home and Peter who needs to focus on lawyering sorts of things at that time. So, to end this tangent I will get back to the fact that I need another 20 minutes in my day to go get some teething remedies tomorrow. Maybe.
In other news, bedtime has been going well the past two nights. The three nights before that were horrid. One night it took him 2 hours of extreme fussiness to settle down. I partially blame the teeth. What has worked the last couple of nights is calmly bringing him to bed after he nurses around 8:00 and letting him finish falling asleep on his own in our bed with a snuggley toy. Success. (We are co-sleeping and we prefer it. He sleeps 250% better as do we.)
Blogger doesn't want me to publish a picture so I'll try again later.

Hang in there! I'm right there with you in the trenches of teething. We've had a really good week...knock on wood!
Do you have one of those co-sleepers that hooks on to your bed? I know a couple of different coworkers of mine used it and said it worked really well.
Yes! We had one, it worked for the first 2 months or so, then it got to be too narrow for him-he woke himself up when he extended his arms out. It was a wonderful thing and I will use it again when )if) we have another one.
Isn't parenting funny? Once you think you have something figured out, it changes!
Your family and our family keep reversing our sleeping situations! Now you are co-sleeping again? Now we are back to Jonah in his crib! hahaha. We had to change, b/c he is so big and wiggly now that Eric claims he has "restless leg syndrome."
I miss you guys and can't wait to see you!
Pretty sure I would get no sleep at all if wild Madeline slept with us. She is usually sideways or upside down in her crib when I get her in the a.m.
