and now we're in cancun

denver was quick.  in on wednesday evening, out early friday morning.  whew.  the flight there was the easiest yet.  the plane took off, baby ate, baby slept, the plane landed.  from denver to cancun was really easy going through the airport but definitely the most difficult in terms of keeping baby happy for the duration of the flight.  she was downright fussy at times.  but honestly... who cares?  does that sound insensitive?  i don't mean it to be.  just sayin' i did the best i could.

so now we're in cancun.  it's supposed to be around 75 all week which is a little chilly for my tastes so let's hope the wind isn't to strong and let's also tell the sun to shine extra on me... and not on my fair skinned hilliers.

can i get a few words of comfort about my child's new night time sleep patterns?  ever since georgia when i gave up trying to adjust her to the time change, she's been waking up during the night.  just once, but still.  i've been putting her to bed later than usual normally because it's easier to keep her up late than to get her down early.  so if you'll remember, the fourth nap won.  so her night time sleep averages nine hours and she seems to wake up normally right in the middle of that.  she's always gone right back down as soon as i feed her, but now she'll fall asleep nursing after two minutes and i can't wake her up again because she's OUT and then i have to put her to bed asleep which i really hate to do.  not sure why i'm writing all this because i really only meant to write two sentences but whatever.  really, i just need a little comfort that traveling won't screw up my kid's schedule for life.  that's all.

okay.  it's after midnight.  i need to make myself go to sleep now.

merry christmas!!!

It's just called traveling and she's old enough to know she's not at home. She should be fine when you're home again.

maybe have chris tend to her when she wakes up in the middle, so she gets comfort, but doesn't expect food (unless chris learned how to breast feed?) maybe that'll get her back to sleeping all night?
