Only in that I accidently let the batteries in my camera die. So no picture today (I have one or two, but I have to wait for the battery to be charged to upload them).
Another day of Lil Miss not wanting to take her naps, but being sleepy, so therefore being fussy. It wasn't a horrible day though -- Jimmy only worked half of the day, so he was around this afternoon to help with her. He decided he wanted lasagna for dinner, so he watched her while I went to the grocery store and cooked. Then she and I watched Night at the Museum (one of my favorite movies!) tonight. Mommy is sleepy, cause she woke up so early today and was up for awhile last night, but I'm alright. I'm just going to go to bed early (like as soon as I'm done here).
Lil Miss did the cutest thing tonight and I don't now if it was on purpose or not. In Night at the Museum, there is a T-Rex. That roars a time or two. The first time he roared, we were laying on Mommy and Daddy's bed watching the movie. She was staring right at the screen. When he roared, she did her little "roar" right after it. I don't know if it was a coincidence (I'm sure it was) or if it was a response to the dinosaur (doubt it) but it was cool and very cute.
Also, and I forgot to mention it this morning, she did something last night that she's never done. When she woke up at like one am, she didn't cry. I heard her grumping and grumbling and woke up to get her, figuring she was hungry. So I stand up and lean over to get her out of the bassinet and, as soon as she sees me, she grins this really big grin and then lets out this coo. It was the cutest thing ever and it melted my heart. Even today, when there were a few time she was screaming at me and, as soon as her Daddy touched her, she calmed down, I just had to let myself picture that.
It took away the "she doesn't love me" or "I'm a bad Mommy" thoughts. So I just need to keep running that image through my head.
Also, in that vertical bar to the right, there are videos (if you haven't noticed yet). I have created a channel on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/angelynnsmommy) that had random videos of her, just so y'all can see her and hear her "talk". Just so you know. (c:
Now? Fold laundry and sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep.

There's a child development theory I fully believe that an infant (and young child) save their full upset for the people they trust the most. It usually takes a few days or weeks of school before my behavior disordered 4 year olds start showing me JUST how they are. They have to trust me first. She trusts you most. You're her mommy.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Mom
There are times when I think you're making these theories up to make me feel better. But, they make me feel better and you're my Mommy and you know what you're talking about and, honestly, they kind of make sense, so I'll believe them.
ReplyDeleteThanks. That makes me feel a bit better.
I have to say that mommy's theories make me feel better too! But, I would also agree. Reilly saves all her big fights for either G.G. or me, a.k.a. the two people who are with her the most and take care of her the most. They know who takes care of them! BTW - LOVE the videos! Even though I miss my Val more than she probably knows, I feel like you're not too far away with the blog and all. Still could do for some in person time.
ReplyDeleteOops - that is me up there - forgot to mention. : ) M
