Why aren't you sleeping through the night anymore?

I posted about a week ago that J had been starting to sleep through the night. Then we went back to Philly for Christmas, and he hasn't slept through the night since. We have no idea what happened! He's been getting up at least once after we've put him to bed around 8pm. Usually around midnight or 1am. Then maybe he'd get up again at 4am or sleep until 7am. It's been so irregular. But I guess I can't complain because I've been reading online that babies who have been sleeping through the night sometimes start getting up 2-3 times a night. Parents online have said that their babies started doing this around 6 months because of two things: teething and growth spurts/needing more food because they are now more mobile. J is only 5 1/2 months, but he could be going through a growth spurt earlier.

Or since he was on soy, his didn't always finish his bottles during the day, and thus needed another feeding in the middle of the night. Now that we're trying the regular formula again, maybe he'll finish his bottles during the day and get enough calories so that he won't need any at night. I'm hoping the solids will help him feel fuller too. He did love peas last night!
