Kruising Kelsie

Yep - she has officially been crawling for a few weeks now - tummy off the floor. She also likes to pull up onto almost anything. (I've even caught her stepping up onto a small box to reach something higher).

Of course, this makes nights a lot harder. She started sleeping through the night in January, but then got sick two weeks later. I have given up getting her to sleep through the night again. She will cry for 2 hours straight (I let her one night). She just keeps sitting up, pulling herself up against the side of the playpen, toppling over, screaming louder, starting over.

At least if I get up with her, everyone else can get a good night's sleep. We'll attack it again when we get back to Idaho (lucky neighbors).

One other thing - we have to constantly sweep & mop the floors, because Kelsie's preferred method of picking specs up is direct contact: she mouths the floor - grosses my mom and me out.

Sorry- that's a bummer. I wouldn't be able to stick it out for 2 hrs... Good Luck!
Cason mouths the floor too, but I'm not so great at mopping it each day, or at all. Maybe that's why he's gotten so many colds this year.

Story of my life...Carter cries all night long, too! Sometimes he'll stop for like 10 minutes but then go full force. I've reached the same conclusion when we move out, we'll have to work on sleeping better. He also puts anything and everything in his mouth
