3:47 am: Aila crying
3:55 am: Aila still crying...despite my inaction. Slowly drag my body upward from wonderous thing that is my respite...the bed...and stumble toward Aila's room.
3:49 am: After changing Aila's diaper, we, together, stumble back to Mommy and Daddy's bed.
3:49 am: Because exhaustion has overtaken my mind, and I have no thoughts of my own at this time, I crawl into bed with Aila and commence nursing her. I am too tired to do anything else.
3:50 am?: I fall asleep.
4:00-4:10 am?: Aila falls asleep.
6:12 am: Aila awakens!
6:15 am: commence conversation:
Aila: babblebabblebabblebabblebabblebabble
Me: hmmmmmm
Aila: babblebabblebabblebabblebabblebabble
Me: (slowly realizing what is going on around me) Oh, good morning, Baby. How did you sleep? Mommy loves you! Say, Momma???
Aila: dadadadada
Me: No, say MMMMMomma.
Aila: (plain as day) Dad (Not dada...just dad)
Me: Aila, say MMMMMomma??? Please???
Aila: wahwahwahwahwahwah....and on and on and on and on!!!
Later (but not much) that same day
7:45 am: Aila eating breakfast
Aila: wahwahwahwahwahwah
Me: What's wrong, Baby??? What can I do??? Here, have a bite of cereal?
Aila: wahwahwahwahwahwah
Later (but not much) that same day
8:30 am: Aila ready for her morning nap...yes... at 8:30 AM!!!!!
Aila: wahwahwahwahwahwah
Me: Here Aila, let's snuggle and get some loves.
Commence snuggling with silky and burying her face in it. I put her in her crib, and she promptly flips over on her belly and falls quickly to sleep.
Later (but not much) that same day
10:15 am: Aila crying in her crib. She's not upset; she's merely letting us know that she is awake and ready to join us. We play toys and read books for a couple of hours.
Later (but not much) that same day
12:30 pm: Time for lunch.
Me: Ok, what shall we have for lunch today???
Aila: wahwahwahwahwahwah
Me: Oh, it's okay sweetheart. Let's get some lunch.
Aila: wahwahwahwahwahwah
and
so
the
day
goes...
Later that same day
Aila: wahwahwahwahwahwah
Me and Dave (simultaneously): OH...STUFF AN O IN IT, KID! ;)

______________________________________
We know that we have been so blessed with Aila. She really is a great kid. The last week or so, however, has been a bit of a challenge. She's a total grump! I can see 4 teeth coming on the bottom, and I can kind of see 2 on the top, but the top is harder to get a good look at. She's been running low grade temps here and there. I just keep thinking...I HOPE THIS IS THE TEETH. Surely, my sweet baby's wonderful disposition isn't gone for good!!!
At least she likes her medicine!!!

It isn't gone for good...promise. Just be sure it's only teething b/c unfortunately ear infections can come with them, and antis can help them a bit. I know recent studies suggest that ear infections can clear on their own, but the antibiotics never hurt my 4 year old and they allowed him to eat and rest much better than he was BEFORE them....*shrugging* I prefer eating to non-eating, and I prefer sleeping to wailing.
