no sleep

I'm not sure if baby Doodle is teething again, has a chest cold or is just hitting the nine-month slump but he is not sleeping day or night. His naps if he gets to sleep at all last a half hour at most. He is falling asleep at night just fine, but he's waking five and six times a night. Mr. Doodlebug and I are quite tired. We're trying to not have him sleep in our bed every night which means we have to go downstairs and either play Baby Beluga or rock him back to sleep before we can get some rest. Last night he slept with us starting at 3:30 a.m. The night before last he didn't get into our bed until 5:00 a.m., which I consider morning, which means he really didn't sleep with us even though we all went back to sleep for a few more hours.

I'm so tired. We're heading out to Babies R Us to buy gates. Baby Doodle still isn't crawling but he's getting closer and closer, and we're hosting my mom's group tomorrow and most of the other babies can crawl/cruise. The changes just keep coming.
