Lol MM, that push up thing is cute hey? Annabelle got herself right up into a tripod the other day, I have no idea how!! But the look on her face was priceless, a total WTF?? look lol.

Harriet, Christmas is usually a long day for us too. This year will be better than most though, because we'll do our first 3 hour drive on Christmas Eve, and stay with the in-laws for the entire day. Then Christmas morning it's an hour drive to my parents', and we stay there all day. Then 2 hours home on Boxing Day. Good luck to you with your travelling, and I hope your little one handles it ok!

Sorry girls, but it's kind of nice to hear your sleep is so horrible. I thought Annabelle waking every two hours was rough. But over the last week she's shortened her sleep stretches, until last night she woke every 50 minutes on the dot. I can only feed her to sleep, she won't accept anything else and if I try she hits, kicks and scratches, and eventually cries, until I feed her. So today I'm just a big emotional mess. I cried when she went down for a nap because I resented that she'd probably sleep longer then than she had all night (and she did). Then I cried when she woke up and smiled and goo'd at me because I loved her so much right then and felt so awful about how I felt earlier. And I cry when I think that I've got to start looking into daycare options before it's too late because I don't want to leave her. This sucks! I'm sure I could look at everything more rationally if I could just have some sleep
