driving her dad bonkers

Normally Evie settles down really well after we have fed her...

...but not yesterday...

in the morning she was fine and going to sleep after but in the afternoon it was a whole different ball game.

I fed her and then tried to put her down for a sleep but she was still really restless and wouldnt go to sleep...

...in fact she was awake for so long that it then came around to the time for her next feed!

So I fed her and changed her again and again tried to put her down.

...she wasnt having any of it so I ended up having her with her head on my shoulder and she eventually went off and we did manage to get her to sleep in her moses basket.

I then went upto bed and left James to look after her and as soon as I went up she decided that she was hungry again (and yes it was time for another feed), three hours later I was aware of James coming up with her saying that she was "driving him bonkers" as she just wouldnt go back to sleep, she wouldnt want to be laid on her back or on her front and James ended up laying her on her side in bed next to him until she fell asleep...

..and this morning she has been back to normal and sleeping after having been fed and changed.

Poor Evie. She's crying because she wants something and its her only way of telling you. She might have just wanted that Daddy cuddle:)

If she's driving him bonkers now, imagine what she'll be doing in 14 years time... :)

Eileen - that was probably whet she wanted ;o)

Al - we have to get through her being a "headstrong" toddler first ;o)
