It's been a looooong week! I didn't realize how spoiled we were with a child who has slept 12 hours every night since she was a few months old. The cold that Annika had this week put us all behind on catching zzzzzs. The picture below exhibits all of the daytime naps that she's been taking instead. (Sometimes four or five a day!) The carseat proved useful for sleeping when the congestion was too problematic to sleep on her back.
Butterbean woke up several times a night crying every night this week, and the only thing that has seemed to calm her is watching Noggin. I have never been so appreciative of television as a distraction! She is finally on the mend, with a little runny nose and cough hanging around. I wonder if this is related to teething since she's barely eaten since last weekend. She's almost 13 months and has no teeth, so I would be relieved to discover that baby dentures aren't in our future!
Yesterday, she finally felt like playing for a little while. She was fascinated by the stack of "freebie" cups that we keep in the pantry! Later she gave her best buddy, Odin, some lovin'!

It's so hard to start getting up in the middle of the night after you are used to sleeping again! When they are newborns you except to get up, but once they are sleeping soundly it is sooo hard! I'm so glad she is feeling better.
