Sofia has presented Daddy and I with challenges relating to sleep or the lack of sleep. Sofia... our sweet baby who looked at me this morning laying next to Daddy in our bed, smiled at me and very clearly said, "Hi". Aw, it's a good thing that she's as cute and lovable as she is. 2 nights ago I awoke to her foot coming down on my nose - hard. We relocated to the basement couch in the hopes of letting Daddy sleep easier. Last night I went in around 11pm and was able to get out of her room (with her still in the crib) about a minute later.
That has never happened. When I woke up this morning, somehow Sofia was in bed with Daddy and me again. You know you're tired when you get up in the night, change a diaper and retrieve a child with no recollection of it. Daddy looked a little concerned this morning when I asked him if he had gotten Sofia in the night. I have a mantra that helps me keep a realistic perspective:
Someday both children will sleep through the night consistently! I'm sure I will laugh about this phase when I'm in throes of their
adolescent years!
On a different note, here's how Sofia plays peek-a-boo:
Her current favorite games are reading, sitting in Sam's forts, jumping on Sam's bed, Itsy Bitsy Spider and roaring in response to, "What does a lion say?" I'll get a video of it soon, but as I'm sure you can imagine it's very cute. She will also show you her nose, find your nose and show her belly button when asked. Sofia is starting to color with crayons too, but still likes to taste them occasionally.
UPDATE: I woke up at 4am to Sofie jumping on me because she wanted her diaper changed. While Sofia was very congenial as she pushed and talked me awake, it underscored need to figure something else out for sleeping arangements even though she settled right back down once her diaper was changed.
