"I'm so tired" or "Why don't you go to sleep!!!"

Genevieve has switched to on demand feedings but still doesn't sleep through the night. Wednesday night was really rough when she woke up about every hour on the half hour and a few times a little more frequently than that. Last night was better. She managed to sleep from 10PM until 1:30AM but then decided hourly wake-ups were in order for a few hours. By the time 5:30 rolled around she had decided it was time to really bed down and sleep through the night. Unfortunately for me that didn't leave too much time to sleep before I had to get up for work. We are hoping that the next few days will be better and that soon she'll go about through most of the night without needing a feeding or a change. Carrie is also trying to keep her awake as much as possible during the day so that she'll be exhausted by the end of the day.

She has also developed the cutest little habit. At diaper changing time, just to mix things up a bit, she decides to pee while the diaper is off. We think it has to do with the fact that the wipes that we are using tend to be a little cold. This seems to set off a random timer within her that will almost certainly end in a geyser at the most inopportune time. She doesn't do it consistently enough to just wait for it and it doesn't always take the same amount of time. Needless to say we've gone through a few diaper changes where more than one diaper is consumed. Someone needs to teach this kid about the environment. The extra diapers aren't the only victim either. It often results in changing the diaper pad and sometimes the outfit she is wearing plus then she needs a wiping of more than just her backside. She thought the wipe on her butt was cold, boy was she surprised when I used one on her warm belly.

I think that we'll potty train her as soon as she can sit on the toilet seat without falling through.
