So, guess who's sleeping through the night? for the past 2 nights anyways. I think it might last. she is 8.5 months now, and she eats like a horse. i'm not sure who made up that tablespoon rule, but whoever it was didn't feed hannah. but that means she's waking up before six. usually around 5.45. And you all (or some of you) know how it takes me awhile to start running on all cylinders. so this morning, i went in and got her up and fed her and changed her diaper. well, just took off her diaper. since it was super wet, i wanted her to dry off before i put another one on. so i leave her in her room to play (it's babyproof) for a second and go down to the kitchen to make my 'sunday morning have to get up way too early i'm feeling sorry for myself' hot chocolate treat. then i hear quiet. i yell down the hall to see if she'll yell back. nothing. i run down there and find a perfectly healthy happy injury free baby, smiling ear to ear, covered in poop. yep. i promise i'm not exaggerating for dramatic effect. it was everywhere. thankfully not in her hair or on her face, so i doubt she ate any. just on her toys and smushed in to the carpet. so i did what any capable, exerienced woman would do: yelled for her husband. alas, my knight in shining armor was still sleeping. so i put her in the bath, put a clean diaper on, go get the vacuum and carpet cleaner, move her to another room so she wont' be with the carpet cleaner fumes, blah blah blah. it's now eight oclock, and i'm finally sitting down with my cold hot chocolate.
