The Lock-In

I don't know what it is about Saturday nights. We never sleep. I think Isaiah and Mallory have a conspiracy going on, too. It's like they take turns waking us up at night.

Last night was Isaiah's turn. (Mallory slept GREAT - all night in her own bed, waking up only once to eat.) Isaiah woke up at 1:45 in a very good mood. He wanted to talk, sing, and play. We tried him in our bed. We tried him in his own bed. He would NOT go back to sleep. Seriously. He kept naming shapes. Then he would say the alphabet (what he knows of it, which is quite a bit I have to say). At one point he was belly laughing for no reason. That was pretty funny. ;-) I can laugh about it now, but that was a looooong night!

The alarm to get up for church went off, and Isaiah had just then drifted off to sleep. He fell asleep in the 5 minutes before the alarm buzzed. I am not joking. So, we all got up for church (which was not a success for me and the kids today). After early service, I went to Sunday School, and Isaiah played in the nursery. When I picked him up, he had just fallen asleep.

I loaded the kids in the car, and Isaiah and Mallory both went directly to bed for naps when we got home. Isaiah slept from about 10:30-2:15.

He was not happy to wake up.

Hopefully, everyone will sleep better tonight.

Later on in the day, Isaiah kept trying to take Mallory away from Tim. He really, really, really wanted to hold his baby sister! :-)

Mallory turned 2 months old today! I can't believe it; she is growing so fast! We did "photo studio by Mommy" for her 2 month pictures. Here are a few samples for you.

Mallory was in an excellent mood. It was hard to get a good picture because her arms and legs kept moving!

On the 8th of each month, I'm taking a picture of her in the bouncy seat to show how much she is growing.
