Teeth to grind

Laura now has top and bottom teeth. This morning she discovered she could make a very annoying sound by grinding them together. Sara used to grind her teeth to my distress. Her teeth have come in just fine.
This is the 3rd night Laura has gone to sleep in her own crib in Sara’s bedroom. She seems to be getting used to it. She still cries in the early morning and I get her from her room and transfer her upstairs. I do this so not to wake Sara. Laura has a place to sleep in 3 rooms of the house. Hopefully, she’ll settle on her new fangled crib. This morning, she slept in till 6:30am after the 4am transfer to the upstairs pack n’ play. Wayne and I are reveling in having the upper floor of our house again. No more sneaking into our bedroom trying not to wake up Laura. No more questions of “should I put her in the office or the bedroom.”
I got adventurous at nap time. I put both girls in the room awake at the same time. That did not work. After 30 minutes of aborted cries and interrupting giggles, I moved Laura upstairs with me. We all slept much better. Sara is getting used to having her nighttime routine outside her room. I have her come upstairs with me and we read in our bed. It makes it seem more like a special treat that way.
Both girls are growing and changing so much, I feel I barely have time to blog about it. Sara has learned how to pump a swing on her own. This happened since we got back from Tofino. Laura has learned to crawl. In Tofino, she was rocking back and forth on her legs. She was tentatively crawling the next week at Gold Basin. Now she motors all over the place. Today, I took down one of our gates and let her crawl up the stairs with Sara egging her on. She loved doing it. She can climb up the step stool in the bathroom. She cries in delight when she sees the water in the bathroom sink.
The other think that continues to grow and evolve is the girls relationship with each other. Sara is much more interested in Laura as a playmate now. Laura has always been fascinated with Sara. Sara will play tug of war with a stuffed animal with Laura. Laura giggles hilariously at this. Sara will take a box and pull it across the floor while Laura holds on the trails behind. They thoroughly enjoy each other.
