Up again

A few nights ago Livvy would not go to sleep. We put her to bed early and she went to sleep. However, about 45 minutes later she was up and crying. I was not able to get her to sleep again until around 10:30, after giving her Tylenol as well as gas drops. I wanted to have my bases covered. The next couple of nights she slept fine. Yesterday I noticed her gums look a little swollen and possible teeth coming through. This morning I looked, and sure enough, I think I'm seeing the teeth just below the surface. Rich has duty today, so he's not home tonight.
I babysit once or twice a week for a friend, and while we were there (which is not one of the normal days) Livvy managed to get a good nap. Later I managed to get her to take another nap, but while she was asleep the dad came home, so I had to wake her up so we could come home. I put her back to bed within 45 minutes, and she went to sleep pretty quick. And slept, and slept, and slept. For 3 hours. I had to get her up so that we could go to our ward's Military Family Home Evening. She got a little grumpy while we were there. She was getting tired again. So we left, and went to the library to drop off some stuff in the bookdrop. She was fine in the car. She fell asleep in the car on the way home. But woke up again. I put her in bed and she went to sleep pretty quick. About a half hour ago though, she woke up crying. I think her mouth is hurting again because I couldn't comfort her like I usually do. I gave her a couple of teething tablets because they were nearby and handy. She is happier, and I'll put her back to bed soon. She just had a few ounces of formula.
She's hit some more milestones. :) I think I mentioned before that she started crawling. Well, yesterday at church she decided it was time to start sitting. She was playing around on the floor and was sitting, supporting herself with her hand. Then she pushed up a little more and sat on her own without support for a few seconds. She now does this often. Well, I'm going to go and try to get her back to sleep now.
