The 18th.

Last night we ventured out to Sare’s house for dinner. We haven’t seen her in a while and I thought it was time to reconnect. Sofie did pretty good while we were there. When she started getting tired we should have packed up and left, but I wanted to hang out some more. I used my secret weapon (I.E. nursing) on Sofie so that bought us more time. It was fun catching up and eating the yummy lasagna Sare made.

Sofie made me pay for that fun later though. We got home kind of late. Once we got in bed, miss wiggle worm would not stop moving her feet and kicking off the blanket. She was so tired, but she would not give in. For well over an hour she’d lift her legs up and move her legs like she was riding a bike and pull the covers down. When she wasn’t doing that she would push off my leg with her chilly baby feet. I couldn’t keep her warm because she kept kicking the blankets off. I only allow the blankets to go up to her belly so she didn’t have to move much to get them totally off, but still. I tried to remind her of how much she likes sleep and it was WAY past her bedtime and she needed to go to sleep, but baby girl had none of it. Finally she started to wind down so I stuck the sound machine right by her ear (again) and she drifted in and out of dreamland. I started to fall asleep too, but I scared myself awake. I had been holding the sound machine over her head and I felt it slip. I didn’t want to hit my almost sleeping baby so I chose to put it down even though I thought she might fully wake up again. Luckily all she did was look up at me for a few seconds before closing her eyes for the night. Our girl sure does love noise.
