Insomnia

Last night was interesting.

Paige was crying at 11:59, 12:15, 12:30, and then 1:30. She was wide awake looking at her wall border. I finally fed her at 1:30, but this was waaay earlier than usual. I just didn't know what else to do to get her to sleep. When I was feeding her though, she clearly had bad gas...probably because she had 7.5 oz of liquids before bed! If she reverts to the 2 x night feeding schedule again (because Mike fed her at 5:45 as well), I am definitely busting out the rice cereal. Hopefully it was just a random night.

I have also discovered a mother's best friend...the slow cooker! How fun was it to prepare an entire meal mid-afternoon while Paige was sleeping, and then just sit back and relax the rest of the day? So fun. I felt like having Chilli since it has been a bit dark and gloomy lately. When Mike came home we went for a walk, leaving the meal brewing away, and returned home and just served it up! I wish I could slow cook every day! The bonus is that there is lots of Chilli for tonight, and we can continue eating it with our movie...."The Interpreter". We have a massive slow cooker, so I may be able to venture into the world of potato/meat thingys eventually. I'll definitely make some soup someday soon.

In case anyone is wondering, I can't blame Paige's fusiness last night on the Chilli, because she only had formula before bed, and not Chilli-milk.

I took Paige to Laura's house today to get my hilites done. Laura and I used to work at Civello together, but now she has her own set-up in her house. Paige was a good girl for the most part, but got a bit fed up since we were there for a couple of hours. It was nice to take her out somewhere, and I definitely wouldn't have brought her to the salon.

When we got back I caught her holding both feet for the first time, and had to snap a picture!
