One Step Forward, Two Steps Back




June 25, 2007: Almost since birth Casey has been sleeping very well. On most nights I feed her around 10:30 or 11pm and she goes to sleep until about 5 am. This week however, she has regressed. She woke up at 4:30, then 4:00, then 3:00, then 2:50am. It stinks. She has also been a lot crankier during the days, with more bouts of crying. People keep saying, 'maybe it's a growth spurt'. Maybe. Anyway, she is still a wonderful baby all in all. We took her for her first hike today. We drove to Waterville and did a 4.5 mile loop which takes you to two peaks, Mt. Welch and Mt. Dickey. Both peaks are around 2700 feet with beautiful views of the White Mountains. I carried Casey up in the baby bjorn. Getting back into shape is challenging and keeping her little white body out of the sun is too- but we managed.
