The Battle to Sleep Apart From My Baby

August 8th, 2005 · No Comments · First Year

I am winning the battle and giving in too.

You sleep in your bed now for three-hour stretches. Then you are up and crying. I just let you cry because you are TRYING to train me to pick you up every time you cry and that is not working. HA! I am the boss not you at least not at fourt months old

I do give in at around 4:30 in the morning. At that point, you have only cried twice and you get to come into bed with me. (Mommy is such a push over!) I know your different cries. I thinking you are hungry and I want just a couple more hours of sleep. Plus I love waking up to your wonderful smile.

Daddy sometimes has to hold me back from just letting you sleep with me all the time but you have to learn to sleep on your own at least until you are a little older.

You are laughing now. It is sooo funny when we tickle you, you let out the cutest little laugh.

Making Pudding

The other day I was making pudding and I was stirring the pudding with a whisk. I was holding you in my arms and you looked at me with a frown and went WA. I was like ‘what is it honey?’. I stopped stirring and you smiled and where playing with my hair. I started stirring again and you did it again. Then I realized it was the noise you did not like. I kept stirring and you threw yourself back and started WAAAAWAAAA but angry. Ha!

I think it is the first time you showed that you DID NOT like something and it was soo cute that I almost burnt the pudding.
