I have gotten up early two days in a row to give me some extra non-baby time to work on designs, housework, and maybe shower. Yesterday? Girl got up at 5:15 (That’s my street voice coming out - I use it more often than I should since I’m 30. And a WASPy.) and decided it was time to play. Of course she’s in adorably cute moods when she wakes up so I couldn’t be mad - but I was frustrated because I didn’t get everything done I needed to get done.
So this morning, to be safe, I woke up at 4:40, and took my shower first to make sure and get that done since I skipped it yesterday. (I know! EW.) And now that I’m showered and have my housework done, and finally have a moment to sit down at the computer, I hear her waking up on the monitor.
Now - for weeks before this - I wake her up at 6am and she practically sleeps through getting her diaper change, getting dressed, and driving to daycare. But now that I am trying to get up earlier in the mornings to give me more free time? She has decided to wake up at the same time I WAS waking up before. SHE HATES ME. I have decided that there is a part of her that knows my goals for the day and does everything in her power to keep me from those goals. If I decided to sit on my ass all day? Or even better - If I was really wanting some play time with her early in the morning? She’s sleep until noon.
She’s evil, that girl. Evilly cute, that is.
I think it’s damn time for Daylight Savings Time. If it makes you feel bettter my 3-year-old, who normally sleeps until nearly 7, just got up at 5:48 and proclaimed IT’s WAKEUP TIME! Ugh. And it’s my day off!
They have a radar.
It is uncanny.
I agree with needing DST asap. I’m feeling your pain this a.m., miss zoot. See, I’ve been up all night for a “sleep-deprived” eeg test this morning. no caffeine, no chocolate, no nothing. Just AWAKE. ALL. NIGHT. I guess this is what it’s like to have kids. I don’t see how y
Um, yeah. fumbly fingers.
Anyhoo, I don’t see how parents do it!
CRAZY cute. Almost too cute for her own good. It really must be carefully calculated. I wonder what goes through her mind?
“Okay, she said something, so now I smile and kick, just a little, almost out of control, okay, grab foot NOW! She bought it, so I’ll kick some more. Okay, time to up the ante: BRING OUT THE CHEEFUL GURGLE!”
ok first things first… FOUR FORTY? Are you nuts?
Second…heart melting video. Heeee
She’s telepathic. That’s the only explanation.
Was that a toot in the begining? it sounded like you said “what” and she tooted on command! HOW do you make a baby do that? because THAT is a valuable trick!
She is a total doll…I just adore seeing her pics everyday!
They’re so cute in the morning. You gotta love when they play with their toes like that.
I swear though, they really do have radar. I even toyed with the notion that my little ones could hear the alarm (which my hubby likes to push snooze on) through the wall.
Daylight savings time SHOULD push her waking up later, but it never holds true for me.
(4:40 is SOOO frickin’ early). You go Girl! I don’t see how you have any energy left to function at the end of the day.
look at her grabbin those feet and babbling! She doesn’t hate you! 4:40 AM!!! I couldn’t operate. You’re nuts! LOL
She’s just taking after her momma
What a cutie pie!
4:40?! wow. just. wow.
i sometimes try to get up a half an hour early or so from my son (he’s 2), but as soon as i leave the bed he hears me. every time. yet he could sleep through a circus passing by right outside his window. they know. i don’t know how, but they know.
What a sweetie! Yum!
J used to do that to me. She still sleeps with you doesn’t she? Lay a shirt you wear all the time or something that smells like you right next to her. I think she is waking b/c she doesn’t smell her mama anymore.
It worked for me anyway!
She is too cute. I watched a bunch of the movies funny and what a sweetheart! Except for the not giving you your time in the mornings part.
Aww…she doesn’t hate you! She’s just figured out a way to spend some extra time with you!
I worked from 8-1:30 during the time my son was 2 months old until he was 6 months old (then we moved across the country and I stayed home with him for a year). Anyway, it seemed like it just took him a week or so to figure out his new work schedule–he’d sleep away most of his time at daycare and then be bright and perky when I picked him up in the afternoon. We’d hang out together until the husband got home, then the hubby would hang out with Matt while I cooked dinner, then Matt would take a little nap while we ate and then spend another couple of hours with us before bedtime.
