Recent Favorites (aka Hoooo's Sleepy)

Forgive the uncreative title, but we are really really tired. Alma has not really been sleeping well since we returned from our trip. And for a good reason: her two bottom teeth have come in! Very precocious baby. We've tried to take a picture of them but it's difficult (too much tongue).

Anyway, she's been waking up a lot at night for the last three weeks, leaving her parents functional zombies. We don't know if it's because she has more teeth on the way or what, but are we consulting our "baby sleep expert" reference library in hopes of finding the answer. So far no luck.

What else...she is getting really big! Last week she weighed in at 16 lbs, 7 oz, and was 27 1/4 inches long. That is "off the charts" for her age and quite a lot for us to carry around. She has outgrown two of her carriers, her co-sleeper bed and is not far from outgrowing her car seat.

In other news, we had the first non-traumatic bath yesterday. She even enjoyed the rubber duckies in the tub. For those of you that have witnessed her previous baths, you know that is something to be thankful for.

Despite our complete exhaustion, Alma is blossoming. She is more expressive and "herself" everyday. I just hope we have enough energy and presence to cherish this time.
