Just helping out

This will probably be a short and sweet post

as I have been staying over at my

daughter's since Saturday

helping out with the

new little one,

but mostly

I've been helping Lorelai

get settled into

her new room!

We have been working on getting

her to sleep in her

"Big girl" bed

all night.

Saturday and Sunday nights

were a cinch!

I rocked her

to sleep and laid

her in her bed -

and she slept ALL night

in her bed without

a single whimper.

However, last night was a different story!

First of all we (Melissa and I) took

the two girls to the doctor.

Addie had her first check-up (and her first shot!)

and Lorelai needed her eighteen month

check-up (and had to have one more shot).

Well, even though the doctor said it wouldn't

affect her, she was extremely grumpy and fussy

all afternoon and evening.

So, to make a long story short - we did not have

a really good night last night.

She kept climbing into my bed and I would put her

back into hers - finally, I climbed in bed with her until

she fell back asleep.  Anyway, I had to do that a couple of times

so it was a long night.

We all knew that it would take some time to get

her used to sleeping on her own in her own bed.

So, while we had a rough night last night,

 we'll work on it again tonight!

We'll just have to take it 

one day at a time.

Today, Melissa had to go back up to Lakeland

to get the staples from her C-section

removed (Dan is driving her and Addie up).

Lorelai and I are staying home.

I'll do a little laundry -

fix some lunch

(and see what to fix for dinner).

Yep, I'll stay busy!

So, I guess I'll go for now!

But, before I do, I'll 

leave you with a couple of pictures of

our sweet girls.

Hugs!
