We have all gotten over the stomach flu (and Max's numerous ear infections) and were so happy for things to return to normal--yeah, not happening! Apparently, as warned by many, we are now going through the four month "wakeful"period, meaning our child that once slept through the night is now waking up three or four times a night. As a result, Max is so tired during the day, but still isn't the best napper (I'd love to get a good two hour nap in myself). Matt and I are back to getting very little sleep ourselves and are relying on coffee to get us through our days. They say this is just a phase that should only last a couple of weeks and my fingers are crossed that's true!
Another phase that has just developed in the past 48 hours: I can't leave Max's sight or he cries....more like screams! I walked into the kitchen to get a glass of water and left him in his gym playing. When he looked over and saw I was no longer there, his bottom lip quivered and huge tears came down his cheeks. My fingers are crossed that this too is just a phase or I might scream!

sleep regression SUCKS! Ty has been doing it too for the last couple of weeks. It's happening about every other night for him now.
yeah, they say at this age, if something is out of their sight,it's out of their mind... i think it's lies, all lies!
good luck!
