Dracona's Journal

ok, my daughter generally sleeps through the night, but lately she has a "MOMMY" complex, which is fine with me, i love cuddling her little self and watching her little hand reach for mine to hold my thumb. but she kicks me and austin out of the bed. lately her and my dog take up the bed, lol.

so i put her in her crib and she wakes up. people say let her cry. i can let her fuss, but not cry. it  really just breaks my heart to do so. so im doing it the hard way, fall asleep next to me, put in crib.... she wakes up, i try singing or a bottle, still wants mommy, so i rock her, then back in crib... she wakes up, ok so on the bed.... then back in crib... then bed, then crib...

eventually i think she will get it.  but today was so cute! going through the routine... and i was holding her and i  told her i loved her... and i swear she said i love you back to me, not in the words, but she mimicked the tones of my voice directly.... iiiii ooooouuuuuuuu.... smiled... hugged me, then closed her little eyes and went to sleep. and stayed asleep.  im pretty sure she understood what i said, and was her attempt to say it back..

she been mimicking me lately,earlier i was singing... mommy's tired... mommy's tired... and she says aaaiiieeeeeee aaa aaaaaaa  

and we have the i scream you scream contest.... lol.

i love being mommy.
