A friend asked us if Isabelle had nightmares. Nightmares? we said. Yeah…where she wakes up crying he said. Oh we never thought that she was having nightmares before that. That’s so sad. What do you think she dreams about? The boob* not close enough to drink and she’s hungry? How sad. She’s woken up crying the past 3 nights in a row, my poor little baby.

*Yes those aren’t boobs in the drawing…I didn’t feel like drawing boobs, so bottles they are.

My sister, her baby, and my dad came out for a visit today. It was so nice.

I think this is the cutest picture.

Isabelle’s sleeping has gone all WEIRD. At bedtime, I used to be able to give her a bath and then get her in a diaper and dressed and off to sleep with some nursing. But not anymore. Now when I lay her down she gets all fussy.

And no more sleeping for 12 hours at night. Now it’s more like 10 hours (which I know is good but still…) And naps…they are soooo short. And she won’t lay down for those much either. It’s the wrap or nothing. What happened???

Last night was so sad. She didn’t go to sleep until 11pm and then woke up crying around midnight and wouldn’t fall back asleep like usual. She was crying and crying. Had to do the whole soothing and rocking in my arms again to get her to stop crying and back to sleep.

I don’t know what to do about Crumpets. I need to knit 3.5″ inches more but Isabelle is growing so fast. Soon she won’t fit the dress. The dimensions say 17″ in the chest and she’s right about there. It didn’t help that I didn’t touch this project for two months. I should have finished it before finishing her teddy bear coat. So now I’m debating on whether or not to continue. I can either finish it and hope she’ll fit it or pull it all out. What to do what to do??

Update - Li, I don’t know if it’ll block out larger.

Last night was rough. Isabelle was crying and crying and not sleeping and I know she was tired. I think she was frustrated that she was awake. She ended up falling asleep in my arms while I was trying to soothe her. But when I tried to lay her down she woke up and off with the crying again. So again with the soothing and she fell asleep like that again. I sat up with her a while and finally laid her down in bed after midnight!

I didn’t finish reading that No-cry Sleep Solution book. I put it down and I thought I would pick it up again. But I can’t find it now.

I don’t think I can sew. I think of myself as a nonsewer because I don’t really know that much. I always say I can sew a straight line and I know the basics. Well it just dawned on me. I really can sew and I know more than I think.

See…the quilt I made ages ago. A close up of the fabric and the back.

I CAN SEW!!

Update: Kathy, it’s not that big. About 54″ by 55″ or so.
