Night #2

Thanks for the encouragement . . . On night #2 I have a little hope because I got better (i.e. I slept through more of her crying :)
3:15 Crying begins .  . . goes straight to the very angry cry alot sooner than previous night, however, there are also many pauses and whines between the strong cries so I think she is going to sleep
4:25  Finally, asleep (I'm not sure exactly when this happened, because I feel asleep probably around the same time she did - I checked on her at 5:00 and she was completely out without the hiccup-like breathing)
5:30 She cried again for 20 mins
6:30 Up for the day - STARVING but happy after eating

So that is a total of 8 hours of sleep which really does NOT cut it for a baby.
(Truth be told, Jackson went to sleep at 10:30 - [don't even ask - we had a major fight and I was up talking with Dave about how to parent this kid for another hour after he went to sleep] and was up for the day at 6:45 - how does one 3 year old survive with only  8 hours of sleep and no naps? )

So is that better?  She cried less TIME each time, but was up 3 times before 'morning'.
Only a few more days until she 'gets it' or I give up . . . . :)

All tuckered out on our walk

Oh, yes, Hallie has a 'new' trick.  She learned to pull up to standing last Thursday and does it A LOT now.  She loves to be up on her feet and will even crawl more like a bear crawl to avoid her knees.

Here's my happy girl making funny faces (Daddy is taking video, blame him for the nudity :) )
