.no sleep.

.i am not sure why b has been up. honestly, i have NO CLUE. if i knew i would change it real fast (oh the joys of being a parent).

.i have been putting her down for a nap around 12-1. she sleeps MAYBE 45 minutes if I am lucky... sometimes 1.5 (which i am thrilled for).

.and no nap after that until bedtime.

.bedtime comes around and she is wired, and not even wanting to go to bed. but we finally get her down, and she is up halfway through the night. i rock her, sometimes i give her a bottle if she really wont go down, i snuggle/cuddle her. 

.but last night was different. she had ALOT to drink last night between her nighttime bottle and drink at dinner. i figured, she is thirsty fine. right?

.she peed out her diaper, up her side, all over her blankets....needless to say, i had a mess on my hands at 4 in the morning. 

.changed her, threw the blankets in the hamper, made a bottle and let her lay with us. drank the bottle. threw the bottle. wide awake tackling her dad (who has to get up in 2.5 hours)

.bring her to family room, shut the doors to bedroom, let her play. hour passes, wide awake, 2 hours passes, wide awake...what the heck?

.6:15...out....finally. 

.put her in her bed with a CLEAN blanket. climb in bed. uncomfortable. toss, turn, toss turn. loose it. cry. awesome.

.fall alseep around 6:30. alarm goes off. snooze it. 6:45 alarm goes off. andrew gets up. fall back to sleep.

.7:15 brooklynn wakes up ...what the HAIL!

.i get up. go have breakfast with andrew. andrew leaves for work 15 minutes later... and here we are. worn out momma, and b is playing.

.now to post pictures of what we have been doing...aka, pictures of brooklynn, so i can smile a bit, and not be totally frustrated with her.

 .we went to a park on monday with a friend and her two kids. 

 .brooklynn was SO happy and get out of a hotel room and run around.

 .and climb on things.

 .it was a HOT HOT day.

 .poor girl was all sweaty.

 .luckily on Tuesday/Wednesday we went to the swimming pool. 

 .all you have to say is, "do you want to go swimming?" and she runs to the door, she knows what your talking about.

 .b LOVES playing in the laundry hamper.

 .going in.

 .coming out (and loosing her bow).

 .yesterday she pushed her basket of toys over and sat in the corner and played with toys and read a book.

 .realizing mom pulled out the camera.

 .she has to come get a closer look.

 .smile through the paci.... this girl's skin takes in the sun SO well. i put sunscreen on too.

.this is what she does when we watch for daddy to come home. she stood there like that for10-15 minutes. it was adorable when she SAW her daddy (we met him halfway down the hallway)...i will have to get video.
