OCTOBER 11 | PHOTO-A-DAY

This day was a hard day for Amity and I.  Her napping has gone out the window.  I don’t know if it’s her sleeping through the night now that has thrown off her day sleep, more teeth coming in, this cold she has been fighting, or none of that and something else!?  She refused her morning nap and I finally got her down for her afternoon nap but she only slept for an hour.  She woke up crying and red eyes.  I tried to see if she would go back to sleep but it was a no go.   Thankfully daddy was coming home early today because I was at my wits end.

We packed up and got out of the house.  We needed to return some pants of Greg’s at the mall so we headed down to Clackamas.  She was pretty happy the whole time but by the end was super hyper (overtired much?!) and crawling around Barnes and Noble at lighting speed.  She has also learned how to arch her back and stick her arms straight up when you are hold her under the armpits so that she slips right out.  She would have tore the whole bookstore apart if I hadn’t corralled her into her stroller.

I took this photo of her right before we got on the elevator to leave B&N.  She doesn’t look like trouble does she?  Nope.  Perfectly innocent…love you, Punky Pumpkin Pie.
