Teeth, Teeth and More Teeth

Last Wednesday night Yelena went to bed as usual, without notable fuss or protest, around 8:30. At 8:50 she woke up wailing. We calmed down the tears, but couldn't get her back to sleep. We tag-teamed (tagged-team? someone help me out with the grammar here) Yelena soporific duty while packing for Tahoe until midnight. Yup, 3.5 hours later she finally fell asleep on the bed with Daddy - I came in and they were both snoring.

We figured the tandem tooth next to her sole emerged tooth was working its way out. Thursday, on the plane, she tilted her head back while giggling to show not just the icecap of that tooth but one on the top as well!

From the way she's gnawing her hand it looks like she might be ready to cut a few more jagged pearls. Those suckers are serated! She slept like crap while we were in Tahoe -- probably partly teething and partly being in a new environment -- but she woke up only once last night, so I hope she gets the sleep reserves back up this week.

This weekend she devoured her first pancakes. Yum. No syrup needed.
