6 weeks!?
6 weeks already? Wow.
She had a breakthrough today – something new! As she was laying on my chest, she pushed her head and chest up with her little arms. She kept her head in the air for minutes, all on her own! What a strong neck she is getting. She has never balanced herself like this before today.
The not-so-fun news: She decided that last night from 2am-5am she didn’t want to sleep. She didn’t fuss though. She just punched and kicked me and grunted for 3 hours. At 2:00, when I first awoke, I was dripping in sweat. We forgot to turn the heat down – we left it at 67 and we usually drop it to 64 at nights. 3 degrees makes a huge difference. I was miserable. Andy must’ve sensed this because even though I didn’t wake him, he woke on his own, went downstairs to turn down the heat and then brought me a cold towel.
I tried to sleep, but didn’t succeed. I know that she continued to wake Andy up off and on with her little baby noises. Not much sleep for mom! Andy got up at 6am for his morning workout and Lily and I were half awake, half asleep. After getting ready to ride his bike, he had a change of heart. He came in and decided to take Lily from 6-7:30am downstairs so I could get some sleep! He then rushed to get ready to go to work by 8am. At 6am, I didn’t think I would make it through the day – but thanks to the hour and a half power sleep, I feel great. Thanks Daddy for giving Mommy a little peace and quiet this morning!

Look at me posting on your blog!
That is good progress she is making! To lift her head already! That is a strong baby that you are raising! I think that it was around this time or a little later that Katie’s Lizzie was doing the same. By the way…Katie and Bill just started a blog for Lizzie it is at bkenotes.wordpress.com, check it out!
I’m sorry that you had a rough night of sleep, but that was so kind of Andy to take that little one for a while so that you could get some rest. Oh you little sweet Vaughn family.
