Weekend Update

I'm sure you're all anxious to know about the decision regarding Wii-hunting. We elected for an ill-advised combination of options 1 & 2, which resulted in neither a Wii nor a nice long weekend slumber. Aaron wandered down to Walmart around 7:15 and found that the Wii tickets had been long since given away. We signed up for the lottery that amazon is holding tomorrow, but the odds for that are 28:1.

Baby care has been fairly brutal the past couple of weeks. Dylan has been getting up at 7am regardless of when she went to bed, which ranges from 9 - midnight. The unfortunate part is that if she falls asleep while eating, which happens all the time, we have to either viciously pinch her awake or else hold her upright for at least 90 minutes because she has such bad reflux it will wake her up if she is horizontal before then. This also means that if she naps within an hour or so of eating she only stays asleep for 20-30 minutes. So pretty much she's not napping well and is sleeping less at night, which makes her cranky for a lot of the day. She has also been particularly clingy and needy. I am also cranky because sadly enough I can't function on less than 9 hours of sleep, and the 2-hours of baby-holding-upright-time in the evenigs are cutting into that. Plus daycare still can't handle her for very long, so I still have her for most of the day and can't get any work done. whine whine whine whine whine whine

All three of us appear in a photo at the same time (courtesy of Sol, who luckily has the same camera as us to ensure continuity with the other pictures posted here), thus dispelling the notion that Aaron and I are actually the same person as we are never seen together

"vigorously pinch?"
Can't you just tickle her feet or something?
That's a great picture of the three of you.

We don't really pinch her, but once she falls asleep while eating she is OUT and screams so unhappily when woken up by whatever means that it's not really something we're willing to do regularly.
