The formidable opponent

Fighting against a little baby can be tough. It is not for the faint of heart....and Adelaide is proving to be quite the opponent and is definitely winning. After two hours of trying to get her to sleep in the crib last night, we gave up. She went back in the rock n sleep in our room, feet sticking over the edge as she really is too big for that bed. Ah, sleep. Sometimes the fight can wait. Sleep is so hard to come by anyway and there is always tomorrow! Mother of the year here! :) With all the milestones she has reached even in the last week- first tooth, saying mama, and getting her tummy off  the floor to almost crawl- i have found myself thinking of a few memories from Anderson before he was such a big boy "growing so fast" as he says. ..

He used to answer a question with a high pitched "I don't know!" And I mean high pitched. I would ask him questions all the time just to hear it.

His piggy face was done on command from a very young age thanks to a laughing audience of grandparents.

"I too tired" was his response to being asked to do anything he didn't want to do at the moment.

He used to take a big sniff and then say, "smells like a bad day!"

More memories to be made today. It's Saturday and "daddy doesn't go to work today!!!!!" Imagine that being said with all the enthusiasm of a two year old. It's pure joy. Oh, here's a pic from last night. Things started out so well...
