Teething has a lot to answer for!

#1 - our recent frequent night wakings coupled with a dose of Josh not wanting to go back to sleep as easily as he normally does = tired Alice.

#2 - refusing to eat the wonderful mush that I am providing which instills a fear that Josh will wake up more at night - total rubbish seeing the weaning hasn't helped him sleep more but my illogical brain still worries that it could make the nights worse!

#3 - Rudolph the red cheeked baby who starts crying randomly for no apparent reason.

#4 - the fact that it goes on and on and on and on... although I know we are lucky that at least we can tick some teeth off the list of those to come through

This time around it's different from when we were waiting for the first teeth to come through - I haven't reached for the teething powders because I no longer have a very irritable baby who is constantly rubbing his gums with his fist, crying lots especially when he's hungry and wanting to feed from me. Instead I have a mostly very happy baby (except for the occasional unexpected outburst but these are rare) but just one who wants to bite down even harder than usual on everything in sight. Ah well, keep em coming - faster they come through the faster I can stop blaming the teething for him
still waking up lots at night.. I'll have to find something else to blame instead.
