Ramblings from a sleep deprived Mommy...

Well it seems as though Lindsay is coming out of her sweet little sleeping all the time stage... The last few nights she has been keeping Mommy awake until about 1:30 or so.... Then she wakes up at around 4 in the morning again...
So here is a play by play of our night last night at bedtime. Rick and I and Lindsay head to bed around 10:30. I decided to nurse her in my bed before I put her in her bassinet. (Rick is already asleep) She then throws up all over me and herself.... So we get up and bath her, then I get her dressed for bed again and get her to sleep in her bassinet. (By this time it is 11:30) And I fall fast asleep! 11:55 I wake to screaming... I tried to cuddle and comfort her and rock her and even nurse her while we in the bedroom to no avail....
Needless to say by this time I was fairly irritated. And I give up and come out to the living room, I get to the living room and flip on the light and look down only to see the biggest grin on her face ever!!!
Of course how can I stay irritated after that. Well her smile didnt last long. She then screamed for the next hour and a half!!! I finally got her to sleep and back in her bassinet and it lasted another 20 min. I gave up and just laid her in bed with me. She sleeps just fine if she is sleeping right next to me... But I am so scared I am going to roll over on her. What can I say she has a way of getting what she wants...
It wouldnt be as big of a problem for me if she just stayed awake at night. But it kills me when she lets me fall asleep for 20-30 min. and then wakes me up. I think she knows it too. :)

a few more pictures from the coast

These are a few pictures of Lindsay showing her wild side. (there was a cool little hat shop in Seaside) I think in the bottom one Lindz looks like she has had a few to many drinks) :)

Showing off her favorite towel


Lindsay's first trip to the coast.... We went to Seaside yesterday. We had a great time. Despite how unhappy she looks in these pictures she did love being at the coast. She loves being outside.

Bella and her pillowcase

Ofcourse if Bella was getting her picture taken Ashlynn also needed her picture taken too. :)

I signed Bella up for a little sewing class at Joanne fabric, in which the kids all sewed a pillowcase. This is Bella's master piece... She picked out the fabric with a little help from her Dad. And she said that she was the first one done sewing their pillowcase. I think that next I am going to ask her to make me one. :)
So cute!

Lindsay's first swimming experience

Last week we attempted to take Lindsay down to the pool for her first swim.... She loves the bath tub so much..... But the cold swimming pool was a bit different! :)

Last night we went to the park with our friends the Johnsons. As always we had a great time visiting with them.

My Uncle shared this video with me, and I thought I would share it as well.
