Doh

Lately, Zoe had been doing really well with the sleeping thing. Over the weekend we had some setbacks, which I chalked up to doing a lot of socializing (new people and places seem to throw off her schedule a bit) and also to a possible sleep regression.

She's been really squirmy lately, way more than usual. For the first time I was afraid I might drop her if she bucked while I wasn't paying attention. I'd noticed that she was doing this weird chomping thing on her pacifier (not on me, thankfully) and also chewing on her hands a lot. She was also doing a very odd motion with her jaw. I pointed these things out to Nate on Sunday and then lalalalalala, went on about my day.

Yesterday the nice ladies at daycare told Nate that Zoe is teething. Ahhhh, that's why she isn't sleeping, is acting a little fussy, and doing all those weird things with her mouth. It's not like these babies come with a handbook. Oh wait, yes, they do and I have one. Another slow lap on the parenting learning curve.
