The best years of our life

Well, she's 8 months old today!

We've had quite the exciting week since my last (err... only) post. V's crawling now! She's also still teething, and still quite happy! Sometimes I worry about her... she is just so content. Too content maybe? 14 hours in a car seat? With no end in sight? Still happy!! Why don't you get angry sometimes??!?! I would be so fussy right now if I were you!!! I'm pretty sure I should be learning something from her about dealing properly with my attitude.

Of course she's probably thinking about doing a 180 because they really like to make liars out of us.

I was pretty excited about actually getting to blog, (there were so many things I wanted to write about! Obviously I've forgotten what they were.) So of course that night after my first post, hubby's computer decided to die. And it may or may not have been due to V putting the charger into her mouth, while it was plugged into the wall. Could that have shorted the battery? I mean, when I plugged it back into the computer? Anyways, V didn't seem any worse for wear (Thank the Lord!) and now I do a better job of keeping the plug away from her. It's a learning process.

I'm tired. V's been sleeping through the night for... how long? I honestly don't remember when she started "for real" sleeping through the night. She was sleeping 8 hours (8-4) from 6 weeks on. But I consider her to really sstn at 10 hours or more. (I'm pretty sure this post could give someone unrealistic expectations about such things...) Anways, all this to say, I have sstn a whopping ONE time since the week before she was born. I know, right? She may as well wake up 5 times a night, because that's how often I do! They say with babies, to stop feeding them when they wake up at night (once they're old enough, and eating enough during the day of course!) and they'll stop waking up to be fed. So I'm trying that with me. No, I don't get a snack every 1.5 hours all night, but I do however get up to check on V. Am I an anxious first time mom? Yes, thanks for asking. So lately I've only gotten up to check on her if I can't hear her breathing on the monitor (which thankfully isn't very often, she snores). I'm hoping that if I stop "feeding my need to wake up" then I'll stop waking up.
I'll let you know how it goes.
