This has been the longest month of my life. It started off great with a week-long Krieger vacation at Smith Mountain Lake. For three nights you slept 6 consecutive hours. Your dad and I thought that perhaps you were going to start giving us some much needed rest at nights from then on.
I laugh at that now because I was COMPLETELY wrong.
Baby girl you are really wearing us out. Why don't you like to sleep? The longest you go now is 4 hours and then after that you are up almost every hour. Do you know what this does to your dad and I? We can hardly function some days...
You would be a great napper too (you usually take at least an hour nap three times a day) but you have to be held for most of those naps. As soon as I lay you down you instantly wake up. And so, even though I would love to hold you all day, I can't. Your brother needs diaper changes, the house needs cleaning, errands have to be run, and we have to eat. And so baby girl you live in your sling, which you are growing out of now and I have no idea what's going to happen when you physically can't fit in it anymore.
Even though you are a horrible sleeper, your smile is what makes your dad and I fall in love with you all over again. You sure know how to put on the charm. I have a feeling you will get anything you want from your dad when you get older.
You rolled over for the first time a couple of days ago. You tolerate tummy time a lot more than your brother ever did when he was your age. You love the activity gym we put you under every morning and love swinging with mama on the porch.
You are losing your hair slowly. I'm eager to see if you will be a blondie like your brother and whether you'll get your dads curly hair.
Berkley Grace, even though you are making us completely and utterly exhausted, know that your dad and I love you very much. Your big blue eyes and little dimple are all that it takes for us to forgive you for not letting us sleep.
We can't wait to see what this next month holds (hopefully a lot more sleep)!
Love,
Mama
