Growth Spurt?

It seems like overnight that Nyla has lengthened and gotten heavier. Carrying her in her car seat is ridiculously heavy and her legs and feet hang out of the end. So now I have to be really careful about when I carry her in the car seat. I used to not worry about accidentally bumping into doors or walls because I knew that she was fully contained. Now I have to be very careful that I don't ram her fingers or her little sausage toes into the doors.

And now that we may happen to be in another growth spurt, homegirl is totally against sleeping. It's like her own personal agenda to wake up in the middle of the night and stay awake. Take today for example, we have been awake since 3:30 a.m. She went back to sleep for about an hour around 5:30, but that's about it. I had to throw in the towel and put her up in her crib about 15 minutes ago for a nap. She's screaming away right now, but it's the sleepy cry. No wonder, Nyla! You've been awake for almost 10 hours!

Mommy also needs a nap, but alas there is cleaning and laundry to be done. These are the days that justify consuming an abundance of coffee. Someone bring me a triple grande nonfat stirred caramel macchiato...STAT. :)
