September 25

Dear Julie,

Today, you were fussy and clingy. You slept all night again - from 7:30PM-7:00AM - and woke up in a great mood. You and dada watched Star Wars in bed, and you couldn't take your eyes off the TV. Dada was so proud! After about 1 minutes, dada too you to play in the living room, while I got ready for church. You were happily playing, until I entered the room. You came crawling towards me, and started climbing up my legs. It was so sweet! However, when I put you down, you started crying. I handed you to dada, and you continued to fuss. Dada tried to feed you breakfast, and you refused to eat. I tried, and again, nothing. Do we got you ready for church, and left early so you could take a nap in the car. I let you sleep as long as possible in the parking lot, then we went in to church. You were out of it when we got there. You wanted to sleep, but couldn't. You eventually started singing along to the music, and laughed and bounced through the first few songs. Then you got restless, and I took you to the nursery. I usually just drop you off, and head back to the service, but since you'd thrown a fit already this morning, I decided to stay. You kept hacking to make sure I was there, but relaxed, and played. You also snuck a marshmallow today, and ate it before we could stop you! After church, we went home, and you took a really good nap. Then we headed to Nana and Papa'll's house for lunch. You refused to eat again, but we're content with just a few bites of chicken and dumplings. We played not with Nana and Kathy Prusa for a little while, then headed home for another nap. When you woke, we went shopping. You were not impressed, and our shopping trip was cut short to make you happy.

You made up for your lack of eating at dinner. I stopped by Taco Bell, and picked up an order of black beans and a cheesy roll-up. You are all of the beans, half the roll-up, a strawberry, and a full pack of baby food! Then you nursed for five minutes! I believe you have a hallow leg! You were still fussy st bedtime, and I had to repeatedly nurse, rock, sing, etc. for about an hour before you finally settled. Eventually, you fell asleep. I hope tomorrow you're back to your spunky self! Good night, baby girl, mama loves you.
