week 18.

maya @ 18 weeks :: march 10, 2006

• on sunday she had the worst sleeping day ever. in total she only slept for about 10 hours. i think at her age she's supposed to sleep 15 hours. and, yet, she seemed fine and alert. i, on the other hand, was exhausted and took a nap for most of the afternoon. why does she not sleep?!
• her first tooth! i discovered a little protrusion on wednesday night on her bottom gums. let the biting (and pain) commence! you'd think i would have realized she was teething what with all the chewing and gnawing and drooling she's been doing. duh!
• she's totally discovering her voice. she can vary the pitch and use different expression. in fact, she seems to like her squealy voice sometimes -- and she likes it loud!
