just when you think...

just when you think you know what you're doing, your child decides to show you you're not

i have been trying to get sophia on a routine--eat, wake for a bit, sleep for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, wake, eat, and so on and so forth

she has fought the length of the naps sometimes...but nothing like today

her first nap, she slept for 2 hours without making a peep...tricked me here

then the second nap, she was up within an hour and SCREAMING...she continued to do so for about 25 min before i finally picked her up and changed her diaper

back to bed only to cry for another 15 min before i just finally picked her up and went on with the day

then after her 4 pm feeding, she did the same exact thing...of course this time while i am in the middle of baking and my oven decided to take a poop

so i rushed to mom's, baked my goods, let them play with sophia for a bit, then came home

she ate like usual and went to bed...only to scream and scream and scream

so i tried to change her outift, her diaper...which i even moved up a notch to help her fat little thighs have some extra breathing room...burped her more, tried to feed her again

and then the same exact thing when i put her down again...angry screaming

so i tried feeding her for a third time...which she did for almost an hour and then FINALLY fell asleep

maybe she was just suckling for comfort, i'm not sure, but she finally fell asleep after that

i am scared she may be teething...anything that comes near her little hands goes straight into her mouth...and she gnaws on it like there's no tomorrow

who knows...but everytime i think i have this child figured out and a routine down, she has to show me who's boss...or at least that i'm not

guess she's just God's built in humility lesson for me
