Rolling Over and Teething

So Rylan has a new trick, she can roll over. The trouble is she is only doing it in her sleep. She sleeps on her stomach - don't judge, it works for us - and she has been rolling from stomach to back in the middle of the night and waking herself up. And she's not happy about it, neither am I for that matter. She did this for the first time over Thanksgiving when we were in Cleveland. There was one night she must have done it every 1/2 hour for about 2 1/2 hours, needless to say, there wasn't a lot of sleep for me or Chris that night. Since Thanksgiving, she has only done it a handful of nights. It seems to be on nights where something is bugging her, gas or teething - we'll get to that in a minute. I've been working with her to learn to roll from back to stomach so she can get herself back to sleep, but so far no luck. And really she hasn't rolled from stomach to back yet while she's been awake. She's getting pretty close, she's able to get her legs up and roll to her side, she's just not able to complete the turn, but hopefully it will be coming soon.

In the first week of all of this accidental rolling over it was clear that it was happening because something was bugging her. She'd have her butt way up in the air in her sleep and her arms tucked up under her and at her mouth and then she'd get her arm stuck and plop she was on her back. It seemed like it was just gas or something not sitting right in her, but it has become clear that teething seems to be part of it as well.

She has become the drool queen lately. Just today I could see the pool of drool in her mouth and eventually on me. She has been chewing her hands like mad and generally when you give her a pacifier she only wants to chew on it. She'll chew on just about anything you put in front of her. Jake started showing signs of teething at 2 months old so I'm not surprised that its starting with Rylan. We did break out the tylenol last week when you could see she was uncomfortable and within minutes she was a happy little girl again. I'm pretty sure I'll be stocking up on massive amounts of Tylenol and Orajel in the near future.
