Talk to me, baby!

Today is my daughter's 4 month birthday! (I promise to stop doing that at 6 months) Over the past 2 weeks she has started waking around 1:30am for a feeding. Before that, she was sleeping between 9-12 hours a night without waking at all. All of a sudden she is starving in the middle of the night and I'm not sure what changed. It's times like this that I wish I could talk to her about how she is feeling. I can't wait until she is able to start signing even the most basic of words so I can figure out what she is thinking. Even if she could sign "MOMMY", "FOOD", or "DIAPER" I could better care for her needs. As for now, it's still a guessing game in my tired haze in the middle of the night. I'll continue to wander down the stairs to feed, change, and comfort my daughter and wait for the day that she can let me know exactly what she needs, or at least point me in the right direction.
