Did we go on vacation?????

No blogging the last few days because it has been all we can do to put one foot in front of the other. We aren't completely sure what happened to our "bundle of joy" but let's just say you can leave it at "bundle of" for the past few days. There is a tiny little white spot in the bottom of E's mouth that could be the cause of all of our problems. Tooth, may you PLEASE appear soon! "Baby Lay" named by her cousins Nick and Emily has decided she is done with sleeping. That includes short naps, long naps, and bedtime. On average it has been 45 minutes to an hour to get her to sleep if it happened. At night pretty much the whole vacation she would go to bed at 9 or 9:30 and then wake up at 1:30, 3, 4, 5, and then be up for good at 6:00. Of course there was some variation but not much from night to night. When we got home Saturday night Chris ended up sleeping on the floor beside of her bed so I could get a little sleep. Last night was a little better with a 11:30 and then 4, and 6. This is so different from her previous schedule of 9:30 to 5 ish and then 7 or 8.

Highlights of the past week are rolling from her stomach to her back and then from her back to her stomach. She is much more alert and interested in everything around her. She picks out her favorite toys from a pile and likes to lay oh her stomach and smile at you (when she isn't screaming from lack of sleep that is)!

Hopefully this little tooth will come in and I will get to elevate my little peasant back to her princess status.
