BABY BOOTIE JEWELRY

There really is no stopping her. She totally climbed over me today to get where she wanted to go...

It was an off day for Brandi. Her work went to Whistler for lunch so she got to sleep in a little bit more than usual (only an hour or so) and left home at 8 to catch her bus.

After breakfast we went for a little walk, I planned on going to the sandwich place but as it started to look like rain I cancelled that plan and headed home. Sadly it did not rain and we ended up spending the day at home. An amusing thing about the walk is Isobel was totally singing to herself/me the entire time. It was all ohhhh ahhh ahhh ohhhh owww ohhh awwww owww. It was a little amusing and weird.

She was also really tired and if she wasn't eating she was sleeping it seemed like. We did play a bunch but she was also rubbing her face and yawning. I wonder if she's going through a growth spurt and needs to sleep a lot for her body to do the growing. Brandi got home at 4:30 and video chatted with her mom. I managed to get a couple loads of baby laundry done as well as deal with the dishwasher. Now just need to get some adult laundry and do some vacuuming so the baby doesn't grab the crap on our floor.

WOW raid night again. Deeper into Ulduar we went and finally at the end of the night managed to bring down our 4th boss Kolgarn. He dropped the uber robe that I'm really jonesing for and Brandi won the roll. Out of 100 I rolled a 1 >_<

Just as we finished up and Brandi went to bed and I sat down to type this Isobel woke up. So Brandi's feeding her now and I'ma hit save and straighten the photo a bit. Brandi laughs that I'm always straightening things. I don't know why but crooked walls and things bother me when it's not deliberate.

Last night was a very hard night. Alixe didn't sleep from 10pm to 3am. Right at the time when I am most tired. I try to prepare myself for this time of day by napping but it just doesn't seem to work out. Something always comes up and I can't nap.

So, last night the witching hour happened and I went pretty crazy. I was going crazy trying to keep Alixe quiet so she wouldn't wake up Maximilien. Julien was sleeping in the next room, no need for both of us to be up with Alixe because one of us would have to be on tomorrow for Max.

Finally, Alixe passed out just after 3am and guess who wakes up? Max! Negotiating with a 2 year old at 3am and keeping your cool is a hard thing to do. I think when I finally was allowed by my kids to lay down myself and go to sleep the clock said 4:58am.

Today, was better. Alixe slept ALL DAY. So, I slept with her. Max was pretty mellow all day and slept in late and left me alone most of the day. I usually can get a quiet 30 minutes here and there during the day while I nurse Alixe. I am trying to cherish the littleness of her now even though my brain wants her to grow up and get out of this newborn stage.

She is filling out very nicely the baby legwarmers I knit for her. Just a few weeks ago they were too big and now they are snug. As I nursed Alixe, Max played next to me telling me he wanted to keep me and Alixe company. I can not rely on my mind to remember this little moment in time. I'm just too tired right now.
