I want her to SLEEP!!!

For the 3rd night in a row, Jillian refuses to go to sleep on time...
Sunday night: 1am, after multiple attempts
Monday night: midnight, after ??? attempts
Tuesday night: 11:43pm and she's still kicking. We left Michael's Grandfather's house at 7:35pm, and we got home about 1 hour and 20 minutes later, so she fell asleep and woke up a couple of times. What was remarkable about the trip is that it *should* have taken 20-30 minutes, but there was a roadblock because of an accident, so we had a detour. So we get to the other detour and try to go past it to get to our house. Unfortunately, the location of the accident meant that we had to go *back* through the detour and then get to our house. I shouldn't complain, though:

Ugh. Please, PLEASE don't rush home if you don't have to! You can get there 10 minutes later or not at all.

Ok, it's 11:56 and she finally fell asleep. She's so adorable when she's sleeping...it makes me want to wake her up!

Yeah, weird, but I managed to curb that impulse since she was 2 months old. The aftermath is horrid!

Did I mention that her poopy diapers are getting worse? 3 times she pooped and it got smellier and stinkier every time I changed it. The worst part? I fed her *prunes* today for the first time, so I'm in for a treat just in time for Halloween. Well, it's really more of a trick, because that's not chocolate in her Pampers!

Her eighth month is coming up-wow! She can:
-sit well
-roll and scoot backwards until she is playing with the carpet-I swear it's her favourite toy
-stand well with assistance
-bang stuff with her arms
-scratch her mommy and daddy to bits, because she secretly knows that she can get away with it
-eat fruits and veggies and beef
-turn the lights on and off in her room. There's a chain hanging from the ceiling fan, and as long as I hold her up pretty still, she'll reach for the cord(slowly), and pull it until the lights go on and off. I have a feeling that I'm going to have to replace the lightbulbs on it sooner rather than later!

It should be interesting to see where the next month will lead us!

Happy Halloween!!!!
