I see the Light

Literally....24/7. My little light, Elaina, has been on a unintentional sleep strike. She has been growing and realizing how much fun her hands and blankie are. We had almost 3 weeks where she only slept for 30 mins in the day and 2-3 hour stretches at night. Praise God for 2nd and 3rd mornings, as Auntie Do likes to call them.

Lo and Behold- she is back to normal. She is taking 2.5 hour naps and sleeping 4-6 hours at night. HALLELUJAH!

 E has been grabbing all her toys, putting them into her mouth and talking like she is a public defendant

E alway sloves our Sunday Starbuck run. She plays with the straws and coffee sleeves. Before we know it she will be drinkign her own vanilla frappicion or salted hot chocolate (thats at least 3 years down the day!)

 

On another note that hinges a lot of E's sleep is that I start working again this Wednesday. I will be working from home 20 hours a month. 3-5 of those are outside the home and Chris will be home with baby when I do those hours. This job is still with H&H, I will be writing home studies for families who are getting licensed to care for children.

I am excited to be working, I think it will tap into my intellectual brain a bit more and help me fill those long nap times...not that I dont already have enough to do during those hours.
A tip Ill leave you with that brightened my day, a recipe for a lovely Williams Sonoma scented house.

1 tablespoon vanilla
1 rosemary sprig
2 slices of lemon, or lemon juice extract
warm in over all day long

SCRUMPTIOUS!
