What Groans, Wakes and Walks?

That would be Tori that does those things. She doesn't exactly sleep through the night while teething, so she groans and moans in her sleep. I think we've had 1 week of her sleeping through the night since her birth and her birthday is coming in about 10 days. She'll moan or groan and eventually start crying when she can't put herself back to sleep. When she's teething there are the bad nights, where she has to sleep on you for most of the night, like 2 nights ago. Then there are the nights when she gets up twice during the night and actually goes back to bed. We aren't sure what we'll do when she has all her teeth. It looks like she is nearing 6 on the top, but still only 2 on the bottom. Guess the bottom has a bit of catching up to do.

As for walking, she is getting there. She can stand by herself and will crouch and stand back up as a game. She's been able to take up to 3 shuffle steps at the most, but isn't very consistent with it. She wants to move fast and can crawl faster than she can walk right now. It is the option of choice when she wants to get some where. The stairs are of minor interest to her at the moment. That's not too bad for us anyways. She can climb them, she just gets distracted easily and wants to go back down once she's done. After all there are 13 of them! That's a lot of work for those little legs. She'll get interested someday and then we'll have to put up the gate to the stairs again.
