sleep issues again

i work at a school so my now 15mnth old daughter and i were together all summer.  she slept through the night, 8pm-7ish.  now that i am back at work and she is consistently getting up at 4 (sometimes a lil earlier).  very rarely is she able to go back to sleep on her own (also unusual since the summer) and will scream like someone is beating her in her crib until we go in to soothe her...sometimes rubbing her back, sometimes a hug, sometimes rocking, sometimes nursing or a bottle.  one morning she woke up at 4:15 to make a fort in her crib with her pillow and blanket.  i think she is doing it to spend a little more time with me but o my god am i starting to get tired...

well after pushing her bedtime back to 8:30 and a tooth coming through we've made it to 5am (and this am i was able to get her back to sleep till 6:30).  I knew it was only a matter of time but thank goodness this seems to be passing
