Early Morning With the Millers
Friday, September 14, 2007
Lily has had an ear infection lately, and it wasn't responding to the first round of medicine, so we've had to start another. Needless to say, she's been a little uncomfortable & cranky, so she's been waking in the night the last few nights. What we usually do is hold her & rock her back to sleep for a little while and try to put her back in her crib. But, she seems to want equal time with Mommy and Daddy, so we both get to take turns. This morning, however, she started crying at 5:45. Too late to try to rock her back to sleep, but a little too early for us to get up. It would not have been the end of the world if we had to get up for good, but it's nice to avoid it if you can, right? Kelly got her and sat with her for a few minutes, while I made a morning bottle and waited on the couch to see what would happen. Like, waited on the couch under a blanket resting my eyes. After a few minutes, she came out with Lily & we all took a nap on the couch together for an hour. Lily is not much of a cuddler, either, so we were surprised that she put up with it, but the lengths of time between bouts of pacifier sucks just got longer & longer until they settled into a contented pattern. Nice way to start the day. And since we made cookies last night, we should have an O.K. night, too (fingers crossed). Aunt Tyrra's coming over & Lily just lovers her!
