What Else? Blaire.

So we are five weeks into this thing now (parenthood) and mostly Ally and I love everything about it, but...

Blaire has entered into this new phase where she likes to have some awake time during the day, which I'm all for except that she doesn't seem to spend much of that awake time being content.  When I'm holding her she just squirms as though she's not comfortable.  When I lay her down she cries.  The swing consoles her for approximately 90 seconds, and my go to move of bouncing on the exercise ball has begun to fail me.  I feel like Goldmember did about Austin Powers- "So Miss Blaire, there is no pleasing you."

I find myself fighting these awful thoughts of wanting Blaire to hurry and grow up, just a little, so that she can spend more time with us awake, but happy awake.  But of course we don't want these moments to pass too quickly.  Oh, the mental battles of parenthood...
She hates tummy time.
What you lookin at?

Go Dojers!
