All Is Forgiven

After our epic weekend with our little hellion, all was forgiven this morning when Emilie looked at me, cooed, and gave me a HUGE gummy smile! I tried to provoke her into giving me another, so I could take a picture for Daddy, but no dice.

Speaking of our weekend, little missy has a rough time with a different routine, much like her BFF Max.

Friday night (aka Jared's shift with Emilie so I can "sleep") went as follows:

Screaming baby...baby has gas/constipation? Rub baby's tummy and bicycle her legs. Lots of poops and gas felt....happy baby.

Jared gives baby a warm bath, but mommy made the water too cold, so baby is screaming again...baby poops all over bath tub, daddy drains it....baby sits in warm water this time AND...poops! Drain bath tub while holding soapy, tiny baby in cold air..baby SCREAMS. Traumatic bath experience turns into...

More poop and pee and spit up all over the changing table, clean baby, and the towel. Baby is cleaned up...gobs of lotion come out of baby lotion container, so baby is covered in lotion...still screaming. Now baby is hungry.

And to continue our weekend saga...baby doesn't like to sleep. BUT, when she does finally drift off and is a limp, snoring, mouth gaping baby, go ahead put her in her own bed....OPEN EYES staring at you, then SCREAM.

Lessons learned:

1. Don't switch up Emilie's routine.
2. Emilie doesn't like when mommy gets sleep.
3. Scream at daddy when he doesn't get something fast enough (like a bottle).
4. You can sleep when you're dead.
5. 2:30am is Emilie's sleep with mommy and daddy time or else you will hear about it all.night.long AND all.day.long....she doesn't forget.
6. Cherish the "firsts".
