Mom of the Year

Last week Ivy went through a growth spurt.

I know this, because our happy, awesome sleeper was a eating, cranky, non-sleeping machine.

Plus her clothes didn't fit her overnight.

We did a lot of bouncing, singing, swaying, silly faces, talking, laughing, and crying.

I was so tired & used my favorite tools to play mom for me.

One of them is my Ergobaby carrier.

THIS THING SAVES MY SANITY.

Some days it's the only way I can get anything done, or the only thing that will get her to sleep!

One night after trying to get her to bed for hours, I laid her up in front of a movie in my room, because she loves watching the tv lights. So, I figured she could fall asleep that way so I could fall asleep....

but she looked like this.

I turned the movie off & propped a bottle to get her to eat herself to sleep.

True love and sacrifice right there.

Well, we must have both fallen asleep, because I woke up the next morning.... when I looked over to pull the bottle off her, the bottle was full of dry formula. I fed her the dry bottle of powder instead of the bottle I made.

Where's my MOTY trophy?
