What did you say?

I can't hear you over the sound of how cute my family is

Ella has been waking up numerous times a night again, making me feel as though I have a newborn again.

So I've been trying to figure what's going on and whether or not she's just teething or if I needed to start her on solids. I was wanting to wait until she was 6 months old, but desperate times call for desperate measures.

So the other day we fed her some rice cereal and I gave her Tylenol (in case of teething) she slept until 6:00 the next morning. Perfect.

The next day I thought, well, maybe she doesn't need the cereal and I'll just try the Tylenol if she's just having teething pain. She woke up like 4 x's between 11:00-3:00. Fail.

So the next night I tried just cereal and no Tylenol and she did sleep until 3:00 but then woke up every couple hours after that.

Last night we didn't give her cereal because Cary and I went to Outback Steakhouse last night for my birthday. (Without kids, Thank you Abby and Tara!) and Ella was up every 1-1/2 - 2 hours.

 I've decided she needs cereal AND she's teething.
The saga continues.... :o)
