Sleep is overrated

About 2 am for the last few mornings,  Kali has woken me up so I can let her outside to commiserate with the night. Otis usually joins her and while their missions are accomplished,  I am now on that edge where I can choose to easily fall back asleep or make my usual mistake of getting a drink and I enter into insomniac mode.

Just as I’m starting to contemplate whether or not these pups should be locked up at night, I hear the baby gently stir in our bedroom and I rush back in, knowing if she fully wakes any hope of getting back to sleep myself will be lost and the sunrise will occur before I fall back to sleep.

If it weren’t for Kali waking me, I’d have missed this sweet moment. I’ve been thinking about bringing her into her own room at night instead of ours but no… not after witnessing this.

Teething frustration

Doesn’t this look like one content, relaxed baby? Note: her little ankles are crossed, like she does when she nurses.

Looks can be deceiving. I’m not sure if she is acting like she just cannot get enough of this teether or if it’s doing nothing but frustrating her.

Play time in her high chair

I realize that Charlotte has a few more weeks or so to go before she’s onto solid foods but that doesn’t mean she can’t enjoy some play time in her new high chair 🙂

Her latest trick is taking her binky out of her mouth and chewing on it until she finally decides it’s time to relax and put it back in her mouth.

I have her strapped in at her belly, but the shoulder straps are still way too big on her. She really seems to enjoy the high chair.

What I really like about this chair is that it straps to a kitchen chair and it will grow with her into a booster seat for when she is ready to sit at the table.
