Can you sleep when it's cold???

So, last night was interesting....for lack of a better word. Mary Claire had her little "snack," as we like to call it. (A little 2oz bottle around 730-8pm is her snack.) Around 815pm she started getting antsy and fussy wanting her bath, so I gave in at 830pm. She got her bath, got slathered with lotion and dressed in her gown, and then promptly fell asleep....and I mean a deep sleep in my arms. So she kind of had a "dream feed" at 1000pm with her bedtime cereal bottle. I put her in her bed at 1025pm and covered her with a light blanket tucked under her.

Around 145am this morning I hear her stirring! Not even 4 hours after her last bottle!! What is up with that??? So I got up and got a bottle together, changed her and then fed her. I then put her back in her bed while she was still awake. It took a little while for her to go back to sleep (two trips to replace a dropped pacifier), but she did go back to sleep. So then she started stirring around 445am, so I just told Brian to go get her and bring her to bed with us. She fell back asleep for about an hour...enough time for me to shower, eat and get a bottle ready. As I walked by the thermostat in the house, I had to do a double-take. It was 65 degrees in the house! No wonder Mary Claire couldn't sleep!! Daddy had turned the heat off and the AC on yesterday and I didn't know it! So hopefully we'll have a little better night tonight!

Mary Claire has been scooting. I know many of y'all will not believe that statement, but it is true. Twice we have laid her down on her activity mat to play, turned around or walked to the kitchen and then hear her screaming. She scoots her self, on her back, head-first towards the coffee table and promptly gets stuck! It's crazy, I know.

I'm so excited for the day she rolls over. I'm sad to know that it will probably be at day care or somewhere I'm not, but I'm looking forward to ME seeing it for the first time. She puts her feet flat and gets her knees to the side, and sometimes her body, but that is it. When I see her doing that I do flip her over and show her how to roll over. She is getting better at doing a LITTLE bit of tummy time. I find that if I put her on her tummy on her changing table she tolerates it a little bit more.....must be something fun about that changing table! It's amazing how fast they grow!

I'm definitely ready for another baby, but Brian says he is not. I just love watching Mary Claire grow and explore and learn things. Motherhood is amazing!
