Happy Easter!

Easter was jam packed with lots of fun. We went to the 14th Annual Pocket Liquor Hunt. Ari rocked finding pocket liquors, but I drew the line at trying them. With her obvious teething issues it was tempting but I dosed her up on baby orajel and she cheered up. Next we went to my auntie Pat's with 75 of our closest relatives. The house was booming which made it difficult for her to sleep. Steve and I were amazed at how well she did though. I expected a melt down on the way home but she was an angel and went to bed right away.

Ari Night Night...

I've heard people say that just when you think you have your baby figured out, she changes. For the past month I've really felt blessed with a baby that has been sleeping through the night especially since I'm back at work, but I've been holding my breath waiting for the ball to drop. Well, the last few days she has been waking up some time between 3:30 and 4:00 which wouldn't be too bad if I didn't have to get up at 5:30. I'm sure she is just going through a growth spurt, but I've also felt like she's been going to bed too early. Last night I decided to try to keep her up as late as possible. After some fussiness, I put her under her play gym with the light up star (aka "baby crack"). This usually keeps her happy for at least 15 minutes and generally gives me the opportunity to get a couple things done which in this instance was the dishes. When I went to check on her, this is what I found:

Ahhhhh. :)
