Stories by the window

I think little E. has hit a growth spurt. Makes sense, she's almost six months. It just seems she can never settle properly and is so frustrated and tired. It's horrible knowing that she's tired, but just can't seem to give in. Or when she does, she'll wake up shortly after being laid down.

She is usually a fantastic sleeper. Maybe it's the growth spurt? Or the teeth she has coming in? Or the warm muggy weather? Quite possibly, it's all of the above. I just feel so bad for her.

All the same, little E. had a good day. She'll push up on her arms and try getting to her knees. Digging in her toes for all she's worth. Instead of going up, she eventually rotates herself. No real rolling yet but I'm not at all worried. It's something she'll get to if she wants to. It's not like she needs to roll around for the rest of her life.

Oh and she's certainly found her voice now. We have daily conversations. Well, it's more like daily squealing and yelling conversations. The more I squawk and "yell" the more she does. I'm the only she will currently do this for. It's hard not to say that I don't enjoy that.

Here's to hoping her tomorrow finds her feeling well rested and more herself than today.
