Up Early

Good morning, it's almost 7:30am. I decided to get an early start to the day. I've washed bottles, eaten breakfast, and showered. Feels wonderful to have all this accomplished already! Anna woke up about 5:30 and has been back to sleep since. I usually go back to sleep with her, but this morning I thought I'd try to get a few things done. I had a nice morning with Brent before he left for work. Nice to be able to talk to him for a while before he goes. Now the house is quiet and it's lovely and peaceful.

I think Anna may be teething a bit. Her gums seem to be a bit inflamed and she's chewing on everything. She's not too fussy, just at some moments when she's particularly "chewy". She chews on my shoulder, even! I got out all our teething toys, but something tells me she'll chew on everything but. Isn't that the way it goes?! She was a little hard to get to sleep last night. She seemed restless and she was biting my finger. But she finally settled in around 11:00 and slept soundly till 5:30. That's 6 1/2 hours, quite a long stretch for Anna! Maybe that's why I'm feeling so perky this morning, 6 1/2 hours is a long stretch for me, too!

No plans for today, just a nice day at home with my baby girl. I'm so blessed to say so.

Have a great day!

Love, Laura
