Had a dream last night in which my little family was living in a beautiful white beach house somewhere in California. Nothing really exciting happened. I just remember walking around our white spacious home, and looking out the windows towards the beautiful blue sea. Violet was there, she was bigger and walking though I couldn't see her face. She was wearing a cute little jumper and her dad was wandering around the house doing something.

It was a nice dream, which was a relief since both of us have been having quite a few nightmares lately.We don't know why. But as I was feeding Violet this morning around 3:40am Cristian woke up to one. Told me. Then fell back asleep. I think he tried to tell me about it this morning while he was getting ready for work and I was feeding Violet again-but I can't remember what it was about because I was so out of it.

Anyways.
The last couple days have been a little rough with her. She doesn't want to fall asleep until around 12:20am, and until then she cries and fusses, and wants to be held, and then wants to be on the floor, and then wants to be fed every 15 minute, then stops.. needless to say a slight impatience with her has been creeping in every once in awhile and I've had to put her in a safe place and then walk away for a little while until the impatience goes away. I've figured out one solution for when she gets like this-taking her outside helps her to calm down for a bit which works out since we both should probably be getting more sun.

Some good things though:

She's starting to sleep better at night.
AND the best news so far, I heard miss bright eyes GIGGLE yesterday. I heard a foreign noise from her, looked over and she had this big smile on her face, was waving her little arms around and was giggling. It was over quick. I think the giggle was just as foreign to her as it was to me because she suddenly got this surprised look on her face, got super quite, and then burst into tears. It was pretty funny. It's fun to watch her getting used to her body and discovering what all the different parts can do. She does this thing where she pokes out her little tongue. So cute.

I'm loving it, even though there are frustrations now and then.
