So, tooth three popped through on Wednesday and now tooth four came in today (Thursday)! Andrew didn't seem to be bothered in the least by his new teeth. It does change the way he looks and it is a little startling to see two more pearly whites in there.
We've continued with the cereal and he seems to prefer oatmeal. He wasn't a huge fan in the beginning, but my friend, Angie, suggested mixing in a little banana and that did the trick. Last night, after eating all of his cereal, Andrew still seemed hungry, so I offered sweet potatoes. Our little chub ended up eating the entire container of sweet potatoes! I held out a sliver of hope that all that eating might encourage him to sleep through the night, but to no avail.
On that note, the sleeping is getting better. Andrew goes to bed between 6 and 7ish. Since we've cut out the evening nap, he can't stay up much longer than three hours after his last nap. He goes down pretty easily, minimal crying, then gets up once to eat. He usually wakes up at 3:30 and 4:30 to see if we'll cave and let him get up. He seems to be getting the hint that we're not going to get him as the crying is getting shorter each night. I think we got into a bad habit of letting him eat every time he woke up and obviously didn't need it since he wouldn't eat well once he woke up in the morning. Hopefully we're getting closer to eliminating all night waking except for maybe one feeding. It would be nice to get a good chunk of sleep in! One of these days...
