On! On! U of K


We dressed Scarlett in her UK smocked dress for church today
so she could show a little team spirit...


She loved it! She was humming the fight song and everything.

But then we told her that they lost their bowl game and their basketball game yesterday....

Yea, her tune changed a little... can you tell? ha!

We have had a nice weekend. I feel like Mitch and I ran around like wild hyenas yesterday because we stocked up our pantry by going to Sam's Club and Kroger... so we decided to take it easy today (it is the Sabbath!). Those of you that know me well know that I am not a big "movie watcher", but Mitch loves movies. We sat down and watched 'Knight and Day' with Cameron Diaz and Tom Cruise while Scarlett took her afternoon nap. It is good so far... we have to finish it tonight because she woke up with 40 minutes left to go, so we don't know how it ends just yet. We will see....

Scarlett has been sleeping SO much better! Thank you Lord! After her check-up appointment earlier this week, we started "Scarlett's Sleep Project." Mitch would laugh that I am writing down our project title :) Basically, we have started laying her down for her morning nap and trying to let her fall asleep by herself. She has done it 3 straight days and also feel asleep for her afternoon nap all by herself today! (when I say 'all by herself' I mean, we normally would have to bounce her for 15-20 minutes so she would be totally asleep before we laid her down... it resulted in her not being able to put herself back to sleep during naps or night-time when she would sporadically wake up.) She is napping longer and not waking up every 2-3 hours at night... I am so thankful and I know she feels more rested too. Mitch cracked me up today when he said, "The happiest baby in the world just got happier!" Too funny.

  2. Thanks! I think I might have spoken too soon on the sleep situation though... last night was NOT good. I might need to make a phone call to you where you get your DSM4 out...!!!!!
