we are settling into some pretty nice routines and schedules with little miss mallory. she likes a long nap in the morning and takes couple of shorter naps later in the day ~ we still suffer through the evenings if she doesn’t sleep enough during the day. it’s hard because we might be trying to fit too much stuff in to our days at the expense of her sleeping. she makes up for the sleeping at night, and still goes down beautifully at bedtime, but it’s hard for us to have dinner and quiet time if she is crabby pants. we have been pretty good about keeping up a good bedtime routine of a bath, nursing and then bed. she still doesn’t have patience for us to read her a bedtime story, we need to work on that.
i just realized that most of my mallory posts are about her sleeping – i guess that’s legit since she isn’t doing much of anything else just yet :-)
i really miss her during the day when i’m at work now. i wonder what she’s doing and hope she’s happy and isn’t mad that i am at work. we’re to the point now where i get a big grin when she sees me after work…it just melts my heart!!
mallory celebrated valentine’s day with her “bundle of love” onsie. isn’t she the cutest?
mallory’s cousin shane turned 6 on sunday and we were invited to his birthday party at the bowling alley. it is so hysterical to see him running around with all his little friends. he is such a nice little boy, i just love him. rick & i both got big hugs when he saw us, and he gave a little mini hand hug to mallory – that means that he can’t really wrap his arms around her because someone else is holding her or she’s in her carseat, so he just cups his hands around her head and leans in for a hug. i really need to get a picture of it because it is so adorable.
