a new discovery

joshua is reading gertrude mcfuzz to baby. she got ready for bed early so he deemed it time for a long story. normally she gets goodnight moon and tucked into bed. that is after the fish is fed. i am glad he is reading to her as she was literally climbing up me for the last hour. she screamed on an off all through dinner. it was an interesting day. we went to the gym, 11:31 for my mile today, and then i kept running for another quarter mile. then we came home to have a fun conversation about finances with joshua (did i mention how fun that was?) and after a trip to the indoor pool for an hour. baby actually liked it for a change. we may start going on a more regular basis. when she woke up from her last nap she screamed at me regardless of what i did. i am tired today. and joshua let me sleep in so i should be in a good mood. also, baby discovered gravity.

martha stewart i am not

my day started at 5:45am. thats early folks. i feed the baby and put her back down. unfortunately for me she was not really interested in going back to sleep. i tried again 30 minutes later, this time changing her diaper as well. still did not work. so i got up and feed us both. we then went for a long walk during which she fell asleep. i returned home, put her to bed and tried to get a few moments of rest myself. by the time my body relaxed from my long walk and i was drifting off, she was up again. needless to say i am not in the best of moods today. we got a little laundry done, worked on baby's room, and made some teething biscuits. we took a couple next door for a second opinion and that got diana up and making a recipe that she claims will be my litmus for all other recipes after i try it. she is part way through and we are back home for baby's elusive third nap to get us to the end of the day. she will be asleep for 30-45 minutes and then we will run back next door to watch the final steps. if it is indeed so wonderful i will post the recipe on the homesteading blog (with di's permission, of course). i really should post about our last few days but this time is too precious. i must eat while she sleeps.
