Valen has been very cranky at night the past few weeks. waking up two or three times a night and not going back to sleep for an hour or so each time. we thought maybe he was teething or maybe not getting enough food during the day to sustain him. so finally the past three days or so he has been sleeping better. still wakes up once about 11 or 12 but then he cries himself to sleep, somtimes it takes an hour still but at least it is only once and not in the middle of the night. anyways, i keep looking for teeth, hoping that will explain his fussiness.... and today i spotted them! the two bottom teeth are in. so that probably is a major factor in his (and ours) sleepless nights! i would put up a picture but it wouldnt really be obvious because they are barely showing.

dahlia wasnt cranky really at all when she was teething, so we are glad we didnt go through this with dahlia too. we would have really pulled our hair out since she was already miss fussy pants for other reasons!
