Makayla is feeling so much better!

My little monkey girl is feeling so much better. Last night she had a rough night. She went to sleep again around 1a.m. which isnt a big deal. I went to sleep around 3a.m. because she cried all thru the night in her sleep. Then, she woke up at 5! She stayed up until 6.30a.m. and slept until 7.30a.m. and was up until 12.30 this afternoon and then FINALLY started feeling better after a couple naps.

She is currently sleeping in her crib. Hopefully she sleeps through the night and gets back on to a normal schedule.

Last night...

Last night was pretty rough. Makayla would not go to sleep. She sat up with me until 1 a.m. becase she just did not want to go to sleep. It's April 8th and she's doing it again. She wont go to sleep. So, we put her in her exercauser and she played. I really hope MIL can get her to go to sleep. Makayla was on a great sleeping schedule but now, she's got a head cold, she cutting four teeth at once, and now she is not wanting to go to sleep.
I hope Makayla gets back on her sleeping schedule soon. :[

I think I need to start updating more often...

It's April! I cannot believe its already April. It doesn't seem as though it should have been this long since Makayla was born. She is now just over 6 months old, 18lbs 26.5 inches long and the most talkative blue eyed baby girl ever! She almost never stops talking!

I've been busy lately. School is still going well. English Comp 2 is a little difficult just because I am incapable of writing essays that my professor will approve of. I finally decided that I was going to go into the nursing program so my classes from this semester are practically worthless because they do not pertain to the course requirement I need to fulfill. Of course, to my excitement, I am 2 semesters away from being accepted into the nursing program! I am also about to learn how to use a sewing machine. Makayla is now cloth diapered which is wonderful! The diapers are so beautiful and its so much easier instead of going to the store every couple of weeks and spending over $50 for two items. Formula and Diapers! Ridiculous!

(One of her new cloth diapers!)

Benjamin and I are trying to work our lives out. He's trying to get back into school now and further his education. He's going to school for phlebotomy(the art of drawing peoples blood ^vv^)(<---hehe vampire) I still have the privilege of staying home but we are trying to sell our house so I will have to get a job. A friend of mine has a daughter that I offered to watch, but I don't think I will be able to with school now that I have discovered that I can't take night classes over the summer. I really hate summer school schedule. Two days a week I will be in school from 10:30 A.M. until 3:20 P.M. It means I won't get to spend as much time with baby girl as I wanted! *cry*

Now, for Makayla!

She's such a happy baby! I love her to death. Benjamin loves her to death! We could not be happier without our sweet little girl. She got to go swimming in the pool the other day. We are hoping the water starts to get warmer so she doesn't get too cold out there. She loves the water! Se's also getting so big. She tries to crawl. She'll get up on all fours and rock a little bit, but then fall back down on her belly and start crying. She also loves to stand! As long as she has something to support her weight she will stand and laugh! She's so wonderful! I bought her a jumperoo the other day at one of our local consignment shops. After buying that jumper, every time Makayla gets excited she wants to jump so you have knees and ankles going into your side and stomach. I just cannot believe how much my baby girl has grown and how fast the time flew by! Soon enough, she will be a year old and hopefully talking and walking around! I cannot wait!
