I wanted to rotate this pic but didn't know how! This is one of my many favorite pics of Alex, there's nothing that melts your heart more than a sleeping baby - haha especially after a few sleepless nights. Someone told me that just when you think you have things on schedule with babies, they change!... sure enough for the last week Alex has been waking up several times a night and crying not from hunger but because she wants her pacifier in her mouth. Short of using duct tape, I have to get out of bed, shove it back in and she drops peacefully back to sleep. Invariably I then lay awake thinking of stupid mundane things like laundry or I get a stupid song in my head that won't leave (last night it was the new Fergie song which is surprisingly very good!) By the time I drift back to sleep it's "binky" time again and I have to wake back up! I'll take any advice by the way. Michael and I did wait last night to see if she "self-soothed" as the books say but she cried sufficiently to break my heart. Anyway even in the middle of the night she is an angel and I love every inch of her! I did notice again today how great Jess is with her little sister, she adores her and is the first family member to actually make Alex laugh - blowing raspberries into a baby's belly button does it every time. I just checked out the updated pics and videos that Mike uploaded, pretty cool, although it's hard to see the videos sometimes unless you have high speed internet, which I think most people have now. Watch this space for more news....H. x
