First part of January

Well, we haven't been up to much. Tyler had his first day back at school yesterday so I went and ran errands. It was nice to not have the Christmas crowds everywhere I went.

So Kara is still nursing and I was getting up with her several times a night, mostly out of convenience and I would just get her and nurse her in bed so then I didn't loose to much sleep. Then she was sick forever and I told myself that once she got better she was going to just have to learn to sleep through the night - AKA - cry it out. Sunday night was the first night that I decided to give it a try. I nursed her around 10 p.m. then she slept until around 3 a.m. . She cried and cried then finally went to sleep, Ray thought I should go check on her, and when I did she was on top of her blankets weird so I tried to fix her and woke her up - DANG IT! So then I just held her and rocked her and she poked me on my chest telling me she wanted to nurse, I told her no and she cried like I had hurt her feelings, even though it was kind of a fake cry. She was awake off and on until 5 a.m. It was a LONG night. In the morning Ray referred to it as her torture night. But last night (night #2) she did really good. She woke up once around 5 a.m. and I got up and went to the bathroom and by the time I got out she had quit crying so I think that we are on the road to her sleeping through the night. YEAH!!

In my cleaning out the basement I came across long lost treasures, not really but I had forgotten about this little bike thing that we got Trent when he was one. Kara loves it and the boys like to push her on it, and Tyler likes to ride it which makes Kara cry.

This picture shows very well what Kara play with all day. She puts her purse on her arm and carries her baby and the baby's blanket everywhere, It is so cute to see her walking around with all her stuff.
