First tummy bug
My sweet love, you're breaking our hearts. You are quiet and want to be held. Your wee body is sore and warm. It's June and you've just moved into your big girl bed. Grandma and Grandpa Phillips are visiting and you finally have your new baby sister. But here you are, curled in bed sleeping, trying to escape a nasty bug.
Little Hands
I love to watch you Brooke Ella. You are focused on developing your hand eye coordination and focused you are! Anything that passes by your face is immediately caught by your keen eagle eyes and then reached for by those two bobbly fingered "things" on the end of your arms. You haven't quite figured them out but at this rate I give you another few days, and you'll have mastered them. Currently you seem astonished when they pull your sousie from you and dangle it over your face while you chirp with mouth open for it's return.
After kicking your father out of our room you are starting to return to good sleeping habits. Not from any failings on his part... I was jumping to your every sniff and snort in order to allow him to get a full sleep. This of course does not help you continue to self sooth for a full nights sleep yourself, something you did from day one. The effects on mommy are even worse. With him gone and you left to figure your needs out beyond a one am feeding, you're getting much better sleep and reassuring yourself that you're OK. And you are sweet pea. You're doing great!
