Oops!

I don't know how it happened, but this morning A's diaper was half off. One side had come undone and was behind her back. Thank goodness she was only a little wet so clean up was quite simple! She was in a sleeper, so I know she couldn't have done it herself, which only leaves me. I must not have done a very good job putting her diaper on last night after her bath!

Right now she is crying herself to sleep for a nap. It's pretty rare that she'll actually cry herself to sleep anymore. Normally she's tired enough that when I lay her down she just goes to sleep.

Our problem right now is she was ready for a nap an hour ago, but I tried to keep her awake as long as possible. I try not to lay her down for her afternoon nap before four. And today she was ready for it at two. I kept her up until three and now am paying the price. I know she's tired, so I'm toughing it out and letting her fuss. I think she got overly tired and that's why she wont just go to sleep.

It's quiet now... I wonder if she's actually asleep or just laying there.

Yesterday we went for a walk. I think I posted about that already. Today we were out and about again, and A had to be bundled up again. I am thankful I didn't have to do this for the first five months of her life. I read somewhere once that by the time babies are six months old they can regulate their own body heat much better. I'm thankful I didn't have to have a newborn bundled up all the time... then again maybe it would have been easier in another way. She loves to pull on the blanket and put it in her mouth. I suppose if she were a newborn, she would just mostly lay there.

Anyway, I'm thankful that for the first five months of her life, we could just set her in the car seat and go. It's amazing to think that this will be the only winter where she'll always need to be carried to the car. I'm sure we'll do it a lot next winter just for speed's sake, but she will be able to walk to the car on her own next winter. *Sigh* She's going to grow up so fast.

I made cookies today. I have too many. I'll have to find some people to share them with so I don't eat them all myself! :)
