Today's Truth....

Have you ever had one of those days you just aren't "ON"!?  Well, that's today!  Poo!
You see....my sweet Peanut that has been sleeping through the night for a month now, has decided the past 2 nights...not to!
2am Sat night wake up!
4:30 am last night wake up!
This wouldn't be soo bad as she does go on back to sleep pretty easy....BUT, she takes FOREVER to eat!!  Like an hour!!  So yes, mommy was up at 4:30 am, and not back to sleep until almost 6am.  That was AFTER she fought bedtime last night until 12:30am!  POOP!
Jeff and I say we were bragging too much on how good she was doing that she had to throw us for a loop.  Well, timing isn't soo good, bc I'm a single mommy this week bc J is in Denver. 
I take pride in being her mommy, and being able to stay home with her.  So I work hard at engaging with her, talking to her, singing, never having the tv on, working on our motor skills, and playing with her when she is awake.  Today....I don't feel like it.  :(  I'm having a just lay next to me day..... it makes me kind of sad, But hopefully the week gets better.
So, here's to hoping for a long nap from Booger today.
 She does look pretty cute today though!! :)

On to more Positive times!! 
This weekend was great.  We had professional pictures done Friday night....Can NOT wait to SEE them!!
Here's a little sneak peak...... :)

I got a "Me" day on Sat!!!  YAY!  J took the baby all day so I could get some errands run and not have to worry about her feeding schedule or taking her along.  My goals were to find some things for her room, a trip to Total Wine(they look at you funny when you take a 2month old in there..HA!), get the oil changed, and Costco.  I was gone from 9:30-3!!  loved it!  I got everything done!  I will upload pics of her nursery soon.
And regarding daddy/daughter time.....he did GREAT!!!  I could not be more proud of the father he has become....(disclaimer...I'm going to get a little sappy and brag a bit here)  I left him with bottles ready to go and left.  I didn't get a single call and came home to a husband cleaning the kitchen and her napping. :)))  See, I can be a little bit of a control freak.(shocking I know, ha ;) ) I like things the way I like them, and am always in control of the situation.  I learned quickly that in order for hubby to gain his confidence with Peanut.....I had to let go, and let him.  Leaving him to just do it, really has given him so much more confidence with her and he has learned her cues/cries and what her needs are.  It would be easy for me to just "tell" him, as I'm with her every day.  But his time with her has allowed him to learn on his own.  I am so happy/proud!!  He didn't shower until 9pm that day(bc he didn't have time)....hehe, I secretly liked this as he got a glimpse of my everyday and why sometimes I haven't had a shower yet when he gets home, and hand him the baby and go running to shower.... :)

She has started to like the bjorn for about 5-10min, and has been drooling more and wanting to suck on her fingers all the time!

AND......my sweet Peanut that was napping peacefully in her swing when I started this post....is now in my arms!  yes, I realize I'm enabling her.....but she's asleep, and today....I need that!  ;)
I can't be down long when I see this sweet face!!! :)  Oh, and Ellen's on dancing around and that made me smile.  :)
Hope you are having a great day!!
