10:44 pm - Dylan says she took a really great nap from 9:45-10:30 and now she's ready to party! (Troublemaker.) But who can resist that smile?? Unfortunately that adorable smile quickly disappears when we try to enforce bedtime. :/

More self-family-photography. :)

Sorry for the short posts lately - I keep trying to get to bed early in an attempt to get some sleep! Unfortunately Dyl has been very hysterical at bedtime & nap times lately, so sleep has been hard to come by. Tonight isn't shaping up to be much better, but I'll hold out hope that she'll surprise us. I really hate having to get my kids vaccinated - it always seems to result in at least a week of never sleeping. Too bad I'm not one of those parents who doesn't believe in shots. You know you're tired when Chad said "I'm behind you and have a knife, don't step backwards." and my response was "But if you stab me, I might get to be hospitalized and sleep through the night!" Chad tried to claim that the doctors and nurses would be in to check on me every two hours, but I argued that that would still be better than we did last night. All the same, I guess I'll pass on elective stabbing. ;)

Alright, I'll stop whining! I will confess that I just really wish Dyl would sleep so she could be happy during the daytime too - I feel so bad for her being cranky & fussy, and feeling like there's nothing I can do to make her feel better. Poor critter. :(
