the essence

The good & the bad...I figure both should be posted.

Addison has been sleeping pretty well at night. But, it seems that for her one month birthday she'd experiment with staying awake at night. Ah! Why'd she pick Saturday night to do this when I have to be up for church in the morning??? And, of course she's fallen asleep now, around 7 am, when its too late for me to go back to bed.

I can tell she's still been a bit out of whack after our hectic Christmas weekend. Last night it seemed to be intestinal distress keeping her up because if I held her with her legs scrunched she was okay but if I put her down she was making her classic needing-to-use-the-bathroom moves. Poor girl. I did shed one tear, but that was for my lack of sleep, not for her pain. :)

Truth be told I was a bit upset with her. I finally took her out to her bouncy seat in the family room which quieted her down. As I walked by she moved her eyes to watch me & just seeing that sweet look on her face I couldn't be upset with her then. I know that I'm her whole world & I can see that in her face.

I'm going to make some coffee.
