Derek fussed (quietly) for a few hours during the night last night. I finally got up with him around 4 AM. I nursed him for 15 minutes and he passed out cold…until I put him in his crib. Then “blink” his eyes opened wide and he gave me this huge smile. He tried to get comfortable, but after 5 minutes he started screaming at the top of his lungs. So back to the living room chair for some more breakfast. About that time I heard Sophia making a little noise in her room.

A few minutes later Lexi came strolling around the corner, with Kevin right behind her. Kevin took Lexi out for a quick stroll, then came back and made the hungry man, Derek, a bottle. He looked like he had everything under control, so I went back to bed (by this time it was around 5). About 15 minutes later, Kevin came into my room with Derek in one arm and Sophia in the other. I didn’t even asked, I gave Sophia a quick kiss and said “good morning”. Then I rolled over and went back to sleep. About a half hour later I heard Sophia say “I feed Derek, Daddy?” So I of course had to go see what was going on. I walked into the living room and there was Sophia in the rocking chair, with the boppy around her waist, and Derek on the boppy (slurping down a bottle). They were so cute…then I went back to bed, again!

This time I was out for at least an hour, I don’t remember hearing too much until about 6:45 when Kevin and Sophia came to wake me up. Kevin told me he was going to jump in the shower. Sophia piped up and said she was going to shower too. Kevin didn’t put up too much of a fight; he must have been too tired. So into the shower Sophia jumped. She took a double shower, since she wasn’t done by the time Kevin got out, so I let her take one with me too.

Turns out she was really tired around 9:45 this morning, because Denise took a really cute video of her passed out cold in the dining room chair. We hope to not have another night like that for awhile. It’s a good think Kevin is such a good dad, such I’ve become quite a slacker these last couple of weeks!!

Oh…Sophia got her first cut on her face tonight. She took a header over the grasshopper and landed square on her chin. She’ll be just fine and is recovering quickly with a SpongeBob bandaid across her chin. And our big man Derek is doing very well at sitting up all on his own!
