Crazy Week

It's been one of those weeks . . . On a happy note, Emily cut her top left tooth on Tuesday 8/28 and has started getting up on her hands and knees and rocking back and forth so I assume she will start crawling soon??? We'll see. Last night she woke us up at 2:00 a.m. fussing and when I went in her room she was on her hands and knees rocking back and forth. Of course she went back to sleep in about 20 minutes . . . I on the other hand stayed awake until 5:00 a.m. . . . ever since Emily was born if something wakes me up like that I can't go back to sleep easily. I mentioned to Joe as I crawled back in the bed that we needed to move her bed mattress down since she has started getting up like that because I didn't want her to pull herself up and over the crib. So at 3:00 when we were trying to doze back off Joe had a dream that Emily was falling out of the bed so all of a sudden he jumps out of the bed and starts grabbing all the pictures and cologne on our dresser . . . he thought he was grabbing her out of the bed. I guess I should have waited until this morning to mention the mattess to him : ) He goes back to sleep . . . but I just couldn't. Oh well : ) I'm SO glad he had off work today or it would have been awful when his alarm went off at 5:00 to go to work . . . we did get her mattress moved down today!

On a not so happy note, Emily has also been crying ALOT this week. At night she has had complete meltdowns . . . I haven't been able to figure it out. I put her to bed at 6:30 two nights this week so Joe hadn't even seen Emily since Sunday night because he's been getting home late and I've been putting her to bed so early because I don't know what else to do with her. She eats a couple of bites of her oatmeal and then starts screaming. Today I thought it might be the high chair that's getting her so upset because it's so big. So tonight I put her in the booster chair and she seems to have done a little better tonight . . . even though she still ending up crying at the end of eating . . . but at least she finished this time instead of screaming her head off after eating two bites . . . I sure do wish I could understand what she's trying to tell me sometimes. Here's the face I've seen a lot of this week : )
