FIVE months old
Sailor Grace-
You've been one of us for five months. It seems like so much longer than that. We wouldn't be complete without you.
At 5 months-
You eat eight ounces every four hours.
You sleep ALL NIGHT LONG!
You take two good naps per day.
You love the car and walks in the stroller.
You don't roll yet.
You don't sit yet.
You SMILE with your entire body.
You love peek-a boo and patty cake.
You love snuggling with blankets and cloth diapers.
Your fat rolls are to die for.
You look just like Ellie at this age.
You love the kids and get so excited when they walk in the room.
You are a mommy's girl and I LOVE it.
You like your daddy a little too!

unfazed
As the mommy bloggers continue to verbally attack each other, Sailor remains completely ignorant to the fact that her poor sleeping habits have caused all the drama on the Internet.

wine cellar/whine cellar
Remember all that bragging I was doing a few weeks ago about being such a pro at getting babies to sleep through the night?
I have failed with this last one.
FAILED!
Most babies, and last week I would have said, all babies, cry it out for about four nights and finally learn to go to sleep and stay asleep. No, not Sailor. She is on again, off again. Great for two nights, horrible on the third. Perfect for four nights, fail on the fifth. There is nothing "typical" about her sleep patterns and it's made crib training VERY difficult and very exhausting.
You all know how loud this house is. No matter where I put her, she is waking up the other kids. We have tried her in the closet and the laundry room and neither of them worked. She was waking the entire house. Well, we have finally found the perfect spot…. The wine cellar.
These pictures will be fantastic proof for her to take along to her future AA meetings. Forget being the last baby of fifteen, and the daughter of a mommy blogger, she will be able to say that she resided in the wine cellar for weeks and that, and that alone, was the reason for her drinking problem.
Once she gives me five in a row, she will move to the empty room upstairs, with Ellie Brooke, where they will live like little princesses happily ever after and sleep soundly night after blissful night.
I can dream can't I?
