Tough Nights

Ok, 90% of our lives as parents is miraculous, too wonderful for words. But oh boy, that other 10% is rough. Paige consistently slept through the night for only two months, back when she was about 4 months old. Before that she would wake at least twice and now she wakes up a lot. She usually starts with a few whimpers that turn into cries until we pick her up and give her some warm milk. I stopped breastfeeding at 13 months so night feedings mean warming up a bottle. Not fun at 3:00am.

Last night Paige woke up at 3:00am with happy chirps, drank 8oz, and went right back to sleep. Then at 3:30 as we were falling back to sleep, Miss Elizabeth came wandering in asking to sleep with us. We all finally fell back to sleep after 4:00am. Zzzzzzzzzz..........
