She's getting really mischievous. She can climb up the stairs now, and as soon as you turn your back, she bolts across the room as fast as she can towards the bathroom (which she is not allowed to enter) and the stove (which she is not allowed to climb). Lately, she's been pulling up our shirts and pinching our skin underneath.
A major new skill, which I hesitate to even write about for fear of jinxing it, is sleeping through the night. After the nightmare of April, we really started working on sleep in May. I gradually started teaching her to fall asleep on her own at night, and also stopped nursing her if she wakes up before 4 am. She has been sleeping from 8:30 or 9 pm until 4 or 5 am pretty consistently for about two weeks. Fingers crossed that the progress continues, but I'm trying not to get too attached. I have learned that everything in parenting is two steps forward and one step back - if you are lucky!
She also has four teeth now, and is eating just about everything, including wheat, dairy (yogurt), and even chicken. She loves to eat rice cakes. They make a lot of crumbs, and sometimes she needs to be vacuumed.
She is getting so grown-up!
