Halfnekkid Thursday - Babyphat



(Is anyone tired of baby pictures yet?)
I found a new trick to sleep through the night, dont turn the baby moniter up so loud. Avery managed to wake me only once during the night and I got to sleep from 330 to 7 am and it was wonderful! It seems that I might not have to have bags under my eyes for the wedding. yippee!
only down fall to this new arrangement is that Avery is a thousand times more grumpier during the day........think she is frustrated that I dont come running at every sound she makes during the night. I'm not a bad mommy, I'm just exhausted. babies and mothers have worked things out for thousands of years with out baby moniters so just because I choose to not use mine does not mean that I'm turning a deaf ear to my child. I'm simply not being on edge every moment that she's not in my arms and it's truly about time. She's 3 months old today . (happy birthday big girl) and its high time that she learn to manage some of her complaining at night on her own.

Good job.
We used to have the monitor right by the bed. Now it's in the living room and the baby really has to get awake to get us up there.

Hey, that's great news! You're learning so much. I hope I can be the same if I have kids.

I used to blow on my babies' tummies and make noises and they would laugh because it tickled plus made a funny noise. Both my babies were FAT. I love all those pudgy rolls!

happy 3-month-versary Avery - what a cute belly!

My baby sleeps in our bedroom, so catering to her every whim is almost unavoidable.

p.s. My daughter is exactly one month older than Avery, to the day. What time was Avery born?

Probably a good idea. She'll get used to it before too long.

I don't know why mine is unavailable- are you sure you're typing it correctly?

I have been trying to find a number or address for you for the last couple of years. When Mom told me that you had a baby girl I figured that it would give me a new search term to try and it worked. I just got your mom's email from my mom, so she has my info. I can't wait to talk to you!!!!
