Hallelujah!

This is Paige's latest face. I have no idea where she learned it.

If you've been reading my blog since the beginning, you'll remember that I've always had major issues with getting Paige to sleep in her crib, and sleep through the night. I made the huge mistake of letting her nurse in bed, which led to her sleeping in our bed all the time. It was extremely difficult to break that habit, but we have FINALLY done it!

Six weeks ago, (when we moved into the house) I made up my mind to teach her to sleep in her crib, without needing me to put her to sleep. It has truly been a hell-ish experience, but now it has really paid off. She sleeps through the night (most of the time) and falls asleep on her own. She doesnt fight it when I put her in her crib. It really feels like a miracle. I feel so much better about motherhood now that I have that under control. It was the one thing that really overwhelmed me. Everything else has been relatively smooth. (Not that I'm some kind of motherhood expert.) So, come on down baby #2! I'll do better this time around, I promise!

Burn Notice

Does anyone watch the show Burn Notice? Well, I think you should check it out. Just take a peek at the main character and you'll see why its one of my faves. Yes, Nate is aware of my crush. He likes the show too because its full of action and adventure! Plus, really good tips on how to become a super spy, in case that's one of your goals.

Little cutie

Paige is really attached to sippy cups these days. She doesn't even let them out of her sight when she sleeps. I'm ok with it. At least its not something weird or unhealthy. Plus, she's getting plenty of water each day... and night.

Paige's Room

I haven't started decorating Paige's room yet, but I think I'm going to recreate this room somewhat. Except I will probably just paint one accent wall instead of the whole room. And it will be a shade of pink instead of brown/tan. I've liked this bedding for quite a while. The set also has some cute decals for the walls. What do you think? Its OK if you don't like it. I just won't like you anymore. No big deal.

String Quartet Tributes by Nathan Carter

I recently found string quartet tributes to some of my favorite artists such as Coldplay, Moby, etc... Unfortunately, I couldn't find my favorites in the blog music arena. These on the bottom of the page should give you a taste of what could be, and some are still siiiiiiiiick.

Nate

If I could describe myself in one word...

awk·ward [awk-werd]:

1. lacking social graces or manners;
2. embarrassing or inconvenient; caused by lack of social grace

Does anyone else feel like pretty much everything you say and do is awkward? Yeah, me neither. I was just checking.
