Stand up and be heard! Even better if it's the middle of the night!

Stand up, baby, stand up..... give me your love, gimmegimme....

I seem to remember lyrics somewhat similar to this in some song from the late 80s/early 90s. The one that makes me think of Club Med vacations. Oooh, vacation. Right. Back to reality.

Unfortunately, Sweetpea seems to know these lyrics too. She keeps waking up, pulling herself to her feet, and hollering for us. While I appreciate the power of "I want you," and realize this won't last forever, can it at least wait for the morning? Preferably after 7 a.m.? [I nearly wrote keep dreaming - ha.]

The real question is, what to do? Do we go in and comfort her, and try to get her to lie down (she's back on her feet before we turn away from the crib) or do we let her figure it out for herself? And why does this keep happening 45 minutes after she goes to sleep for the night? And again an hour and a half later?

DH spent a week trying to rock her to sleep and making that ultra-precarious 5 foot journey from the glider to the crib, often having to restart if she startled awake. Last night we tried to Ferber again (having successfully done so at 7mo). It's much harder when they can stand up, and really really holler. After an hour, she finally went to sleep. On her own.
