Mischief and Mayhem Always Follow Trouble

Adia slept with us last night after waking up at 11:30. She woke up every hour, crying and it was nearly impossible to get her back to sleep. Scott got up with her around 7:30. I got up at 9:30. Adia was happy to see me. She had taken a brief 30 minute nap earlier, but was still kind of cranky. We spent most of the day trying to get her to sleep. Scott did manage to get her to take a small nap around noon, but it was pretty obvious that she woke up too soon.

Adia and I took a bath right before her nap. She was in a silly mood and really wanted Mommy. She splashed like crazy and just had fun. It was mostly a play day for her. During the hour before dinner, Scott, Adia and I played. She was still being really silly and Scott and I ended up in hysterics. Adia has the funniest sense of humor. She's quickly earning the nickname Little Comedian. I set the small metal mixing bowl on her head and she quickly pulled it off. She thought it was the funniest thing when Scott put it on his head. Then we tried the same thing with the green bucket. She was able to pull it off, all by herself. Scott and I then laid on the floor and Adia climbed all over us. She LOVED it. She was so happy.




Her happiness continued into dinner. She ate 1/2 a yogurt, 1/2 a container of sweet potatoes and a bunch of fruity cheerios. She kept laughing at Scott even though you could see how sleepy she was. I really thought she was going to nod off while eating. She did really well picking up cheerios today and seemed very proud of herself. She was also taking huge bites of food. I couldn't feed her fast enough. Her eyes lit up when she saw the bottle of fluoride. She really loves that stuff and it's made it easier to give her Tylenol too.

Bath time was a little different tonight. We tried to do three in a tub and it just didn't work. Our tub is barely big enough for 1 1/2, adding Scott just didn't work. Adia was happy to have him in with her, but she didn't have quite enough room to splash and play. The second she got out, she was splashing away. She also had fun with mirror baby before her bath. It let me know that I really need with clean the mirror. Her whole little corner is covered in baby goo. Scott diapered and dressed her. She fought it as best she could.


Scott then gave her to me for a bottle and bed. She passed out nearly immediately so I had to carefully wake her to drink more. She only ended up drinking 4oz. I tried laying her down and she woke crying within seconds. After multiple attempts, I gave up and brought her back to the living room. She's asleep on top of me right now. I'm really really really hoping for a good night tonight.
