Sleep - or the lack therof

Forgive me for bringing up this topic again. However, if you do not wish to read about it, may I respectfully suggest you go fishing instead?

Shona used to sleep a 5 hour stretch, fairly regularly. Sometimes she even slept 7 hours. Not anymore! And I am really not sure what to do. A couple nights ago, I put Shona to bed around 8:30 p.m. By 2:30 a.m., I'd already had to put her back to sleep 7 times! Every night, she wakes up 3 times within the first hour that I put her to bed. It's usually pretty easy to get her back to sleep those first few times. But at some point during the night (or more like, very early hours of the morning) she's started having screaming fits like she's in a lot of pain. Sometimes they last 40 minutes. It's getting pretty exhausting. So basically, she's gone from sleeping 5 hour stretches to now sleeping no more than 2 hours at a time. I thought it was supposed to get better by now????

Shona, wearing a dress from Aunty Rachel. It *used* to be a lighter color. That is, until I accidentally washed it with something too dark. But it's still really cute, and she still wears it a lot...even though it's getting waaaaaaay to small!

Shona at the beach on Saturday. She loved it!

Hanging out with Daddy. Basically her favorite thing to do!

In the stroller, watching Mommy sweep the driveway:

Going for a walk. Her personality is really starting to show!

Shona in the hammock. Caleb hung this hammock for me, and I LOVE LOVE LOVE it. Shona does too.

Shannon. Look at her cheesy grin!

Shona and Mommy. Does she look like me at all?
