Kate has a little cold. The only thing this affects is her ability to nap. Which means it affects EVERYTHING. My boobs are drained by her constant need to nurse to sleep, since she keeps waking back up over and over again. Sometimes she wakes up and wants to play (after a 15 minute nap!) but mostly she’s just waking up crying because she’s tired but can’t sleep. It gets worse as the day progresses. Nurse nurse nurse. She spits the paci out at me when I offer it. Sometimes she cries at one side but not the other (I assume the emptier one that she just nursed off of last). Sometimes she cries at both sides, and the paci, and then just loses it totally. I had to put her in the mei tai and walk her up and down the street that time. She is tired. I am tired. We are all frustrated.<\/p>\n
Crap I think I just heard her again. Third time waking since going down for the night. AGGGHHHH.<\/p>\n

This is her before<\/i> getting sick. Notice the shrieking! Her new favorite thing (she’s moved past blowing raspberries all the time). It’s just so funny to me to see her in the exersaucer and realize how much bigger she is now! We had to take out the pillow we used to prop her up with, she was getting mad about it. I also re-introduced all the toys on it – I had taken them all off because she was overstimulated. Now she just plays with whatever she wants! She also has figured out that she can grab the toys and bend them down into her mouth – didn’t catch that on video, though.<\/p>\n
