Has anyone else noticed that when their children are going through a developmental phase their sleeping goes out the window, they get clumsy, and either have a huge increase or decrease in appetite?

I am sure that DD has just gone through a huge growth/ developmental phase and our house has been like a war zone the last few days, she hasnt slept properly in about a week, she is eating HUGE amounts of food, she fell over last night and put her tooth through her lip, and then fell off her chair and hit her head on her little table today.

Poor little things, while I am glad she is developing well (she has just had a HUGE increase in her already fantastic language) and a massive growth spurt, it would be nice for her to stop hurting herself and have a good nights sleep.
