... and then the baby wakes up.
Repeat every 3 hours. Seriously. My daughter is 6 months old. She SHOULD be sleeping much longer stretches than that. But, without fail, the past week this has been my nightmare. 10 minutes after I crawl into bed she is waking up. Then she wakes up two more times before morning. I feel like I have a newborn again! And it's really doing damage to my days because I feel sleep deprived and lazy. I just want to sit on the couch like a vegetable.
She is cutting her first tooth. It's got the smallest layer of skin over it... as thin as rice paper. I know it will break through if not today than definitely tomorrow!
So! Scrapping has been good lately. My Aunt and Gramma came down for a visit and I was busy with my Mosh Posh layouts and lots of sewing. We were so crafty! We found the cutest doll patterns on Etsy by Bit Of Whimsy. I made a baby doll for Grace and for a friend as a gift. I'll have to post pics of them soon.
Here are my pages for the Mosh Posh Design Team this month:
I love October Afternoon! I really enjoyed these papers because they are double sided with a colorful pattern on one side and a black & white one on the other side. It was very versatile. I also had tons of fun playing with the Maya Road chipboard bird mini album (which I took apart to use the birds as embellishments). I'm making a decorative mobile from the rest of the birds. I can't wait to see how that turns out!!! ;)
Anyways, I better go. I have errands to run today. Once the baby wakes up from her nap (lucky her) We'll have to be ready to go. :)

I'm right there with you, with the waking up. The baby was sleeping reasonably well for the first few months, but now we're going on almost 2 months of many, many night wakings (like 5, 6, 7, or more!). And I have no tooth to blame it on. Boo!
Oh, and I'll see your restless baby and raise you a toddler who has suddenly decided she's afraid of her bed and won't go to sleep without someone sitting in her room for an hour and then wakes up anywhere between 1 and 3 a.m. and wants to either start the whole process over or climb into Mommy's bed. Argh!
Isn't parenthood fun? :) (Amazingly, I will still answer "yes" despite all this.) Hope you get some sleep soon!
OH Brook, I hear your pain.. been there 3 times already. While Ben is going to be 3 this winter, I do miss that tiny baby. He grew out of that so fast! I wish he was 6 mo old again!! Babyhood needs to last just alittle longer!!
I love all of your LO's. But I think my fav's are the one with you and the kids, and I think it's your mom ? holding Grace. I love that pic of them together. It brings back such wonderful memories of my kids when they were that tiny. It's a beautiful page.
amazed my your work as usual. you are just SO good. every time i read your blog or see your work it makes me miss you and wish we could be doing crafty stuff together, aside from changing diapers and doing mommy stuff together :) love ya
Oh my, I'd hate to see just how fabulous you could be on a full night's sleep! These layouts are great. I just all the details and techniques. I'll be coming back for inspiration...thanks!
I love that binky/blankie layout. I so need to lift that. Both my boys still have blankie and the last binkies are on my shelf in my scraproom. :-)
Hey Brook!! Just wanted to leave you a message and tell you I love your new LO's in the August DT gallery!! They are wonderful! Hope you and your family are doing well! :)
