I love watching my little baby sleep. Sometimes I don't want to sleep because I don't want to miss anything and I don't want to start another day. To me a new day means she is a day older and she is my baby! My baby is now 15 months old and really starting to walk all around.
She is such a good baby. Hardly cries, but she does have her moments. She loves to give hugs to people and stuffed animals. The kid does not have a single stuffed animal that she likes, she likes them all! Talk about giving fair time to everything.
She ate dirt today. I got soooo worried. Fortunately someone was using a garden hose (we went to a graduation at a private school that my husband attended, the person there was using a garden hose. The school is built on the property of what was someones estate) and I ran and cleaned her off. No I didn't dunk her under the hose (which on a hot day like today would be a good idea) but I used my hands. I had to take off her outfit too! thank god for diaper bags and extra clothes!
Fortunately I packed a nice new cute ourfit and baby girl was beautiful again! I love the smiles she gives me. During her entire cleaning up ordeal she just smiled.
I made her dinner tonight, fish sticks and peas and carrots. She ate with gusto. Then we had a bath and she went right off to sleep.
Poor baby likes going to sleep at 10 or later. I am trying everything to get her to bed by 9. Forget the 7 pm or 8 pm bedtimes. That never ever worked with her. And then she only sleeps for like 6 hours total so as soon as she goes to bed I have to go to bed the same time she does! That leaves me no time to go online or just relax.
So tonight it was 10 pm bedtime. It seems that if she goes to sleep before that she is up by 3:30. But if I put her to bed at 10 she sleeps till 7:30 am. So that gives me 1 hour to just do what I have to do. Take a shower, read a little bit, sex with hubby, maybe even talk to a friend on the phone or play a game, or even better yet, spend some time with stepdaughter when we have her!
Does anyone have any issues with sleep? Please help me. I try to feed baby girl by 7 pm. I don't let her nap past 6. She tries to take a nap at 6 or 7 but I am trying to change that. Poor thing just went on her own schedule and soon I will be going back to work and need to start changing it. Maybe once I go back to work things will change.
