I Should Be In Bed!

Addison's Mama busted me!! Yeah, yeah, I should be in bed but I have not been able to get on for even a minute. I looked pretty bad today. Ask tcg and the others. I am embarassed consider what they must think. I could hardly even get dressed for breakfast without Sarah screaming bloody murder. She fell asleep in my arms while we were at breakfast, an I love holding sleeping babies, but when I came to the room and tried to ease her into bed, she woke up!! Finally she slept for over 3 hours, on our bed, in the afternoon. My hair was sooo greasy you could bake cookies on it and they wouldn't stick!! My shirts are perpetually covered by chewed up baby food, cookies, etc.!! I love it, though, and am glad we are "stuck" down here with her. We have nothing to do but enjoy her. She is my precious baby. She was soooo cranky in the morning that she would start screaming if dh even looked at her! She woke up from her nap VERY sunny side up, as you can see from the pix!! I brought down all these wonderful toys and what does she want to play with, ziplock bags with her mini bath products in it and her socks and hair paraphanalia?? She is checking out her hair bows and headbands in these pictures! What to wear?

This is a little one who knows what's important:
fruit,
chocolate,
and
hair accessories

(along with having the man in your life...in this case daddy...wrapped around your little finger )

she is adorable.

How fun! She is beautiful. I remember with my first baby, Rosemary, I would drag her rocky chair into the bathroom so I could hear her cry while I was in the shower--otherwise I would get no shower at all! I just couldn't stand to hear her cry. Congratulations on your beautiful daughter.

welcome to mommy hood. I love it my friend and I have children a month apart and sometimes we go to each others house and play with the kids while the other takes a shower, shaves her legs and actually puts makeup and does the hair. It is like a little luxury to be completly clean. But you know I wouldn't trade it for anything and I am so glad that you are having a great time getting to know your little bundle of joy

Ami

That sunny-faced little girl surely could NEVER be cranky...

What a cutie. It sounds like you're having a great time!
