I still can’t help it, I smile every time I hear the sound of baby Abigale crying. It makes me feel good in a weird sort of way. No, I don’t just like to hear her cry - but it let’s me know she’s awake and active. The only problem is, she seems to be more awake and active during the wee hours of the morning. The past couple nights in a row she seems to have become my 5 AM wake call.

Jamie will get up and feed her until she falls back asleep - seemingly content with milk. But a few minutes later, she’ll pout again and before you know it she’s into an all out scream. But she doesn’t take much more milk. I’m convinced she just likes it when Jamie gets up to hold her, who can blame her I like it too. But at what point will a baby start sleeping through the night?

Found a post every parent should read over at Something About Parenting about patience.  Patience is different for every parent!  You all know what causes your kids to try your patience.

For me, patience is trying to pay attention to traffic while I have a baby in the back that refuses to to stop screaming or fall asleep.  Especially when we just started the trip.  That’s patience.

Patience for me is a child who sometimes doesn’t have patience.  When we just started removing a dirty diaper and our little baby doesn’t want to sit still but would rather flip over before she’s been cleaned, that’s patience. 

This just serves to remind all parents, you gotta have patience!!  What is your patience?
