Carry On

Emma is in her car seat entirely too much for a baby, so lately I've been putting her in the soft carrier more and more. She's loving it.

She hangs.

She naps.

She laughs.

I never really saw the resemblance between Noah and Emma until I framed this picture...

I am so going to be that Mom who looks at baby pictures and says, "now, who is this?" Thankfully, Emma is the one with the bow.

Emma turned five months old today. And, she is already starting to scoot. Let me repeat that... Emma turned five months old today, and she is ALREADY STARTING TO SCOOT. Do you know what comes next, my friends. Oh yes, crawling. Don't you think it's a little early for this Miss Em?

Any idea how many calories you are burning off with all this exercise?

Luckily, she is still working out logistics.

And, she is sure to throw in frequent breaks.

Yesterday, I Was Tired. Today Is Better.

It all started the day of Noah's pumpkin patch field trip. It was cold and windy. And every once in a while a mist of chilly rain would fall. I grabbed our coats as an afterthought. I had Emma layered in a long sleeve shirt and a sweater, white tights and a knit hat. But, the field trip was outside, and I guess the elements proved a bit too much.
Emma started running fever Friday evening and although no other symptoms presented, she was cranky and feverish for the next few nights.

Noah started running fever on Tuesday night. Who would of thought little sis would be the germ spreader. The first night he was sick, Noah woke up at 10:30pm and did not go back to sleep until 4:30 in the morning! And, so it began. Tired. Waking up in the middle if the night. Talking and walking up his sister. And then, Friday when neither he or I could take anymore. He took a nap at 3:30pm and slept until 10:30 at night!

So, instead of a refreshing siesta, that nap catapulted us into a completely out of whack schedule which has somehow ended up with a 4:30 AM wake-up call for the past two days. So, yeah, I'm tired.

And, poor Emma. Perfectly content to snooze the whole night away, must be woken up to eat. A Momma's exhaustion coupled with a baby girl who needs a few extra calories has really not been a good combo. Since, I'm ready to crash pretty early.

But, last night I closed my eyes closer to 9:00 PM and Dean stayed awake to get me up at midnight to feed Emma and Noah slept until 5:30, so dare I say... I'm feeling a little fresh today. Happy Wednesday!
