Today has been a pretty good day. Abigail woke us up at 3:30 am or so. She tried to go back to sleep with just the pacifier but she got hungry before she made it back to sleep. Oh well. She woke up again at 7. I put her pacifier back in and this time, she did go back to sleep. It was almost 9 before she fussed again, even though I heard her talking some in between when she was sleeping. It was a nice break for me. Even though I got up when she woke me up at 7, I had some "me" time before she wanted up at 9.

Abigail's Grandma Davis came to visit for a little while today. Abigail went to sleep while she was here. Later on, Abigail played on her play mat for a while. She sat in her bouncy seat and watched mommy get supper started, then she watched her Baby Einstein video for the first time. It kept her attention pretty well.

For the last couple of weeks, it is almost a fight to get her to finish her bottles, even when you can hear her stomach growling when she starts it. She normally will start drinking it fine, but after her first burp she does not want to drink anymore. I don't understand. We want her to finish it so she will last longer before wanting more but it can be very hard to get her to. Hopefully it's just a phase that will end soon. It makes it more challenging b/c I would like to get her on a schedule. Since she doesn't finish it, it is hard to know when she will be hungry again.
