we're a bit clingy and un-sleepy in this house too - along with the refuses to go down for sleeps during the day (but she's always been like that). I can usually only get a 5 or 10 minute cat nap out of her - 20 mins max. On the 40+ degree days she was sleeping better in the days and then not at all in the nights. But overall, she's generally a bit harder to get to sleep, harder to keep asleep and a lot more clingy. I suspect we're about to get teeth

Mez - can well imagine your frustrations with sleep - agree with Pixie that a few of us are going through sleep weirdness at the mo!

On the happier (or scarier) side of things, she started pulling herself up to kneeling position a few days ago. This was expected pretty close to the crawling thing. She does it one handed now =) The scary bit is that if the thing she has pulled herself up against is low enough, she uses it to push herself to standing position!! She can't pull herself up against something too straight at the moment, but I'm tipping that's not far off!! It helps if there's something she wants to get at, but she has now stood up by herself on the couch while attempting to reach the cat on the scratching post next to it, and pulled herself up against the bed that I have setup in her room. Bad quality photo, but she had stopped doing it on the couch by the time I dragged out a camera!

she's just found daddy's work computer - better go save it.

waves and hugs =)
