Whirling Dervish Baby

[dreamshark]

So a couple of weeks ago, Lena suddenly learned how to do everything at once - pull to stand, push to sit,  crawl, roll over. She is now a non-stop tornado baby, charging around the living room on her hands and knees from toy to toy and trying to stand up on anything more than a foot tall. Never a good sleeper, she now has a new sleep disturbance. On the plus side, she no longer has to sleep on her back like an infant - she can roll into any position she likes. She seems to prefer sleeping on her side. But if she accidentally rolls onto her tummy during the night she automatically pushes up to her hands and knees, churns over to the side of the crib, and pulls herself to stand, all without really waking up. Then she wakes her parents up crying because she's only half awake and can't stop crawling, or is stranded in a standing position. It's not easy being an Energizer Bunny.
