Cisco

We had to let our Cisco go this morning. We got to hold her in our arms and pet her while she went to sleep in her favorite sunny spot. You would think it gets easier the older you get and the more pets you love but it doesn't. We will miss her. 

Ode to Cisco:

I hope you are somewhere beautiful and vast. With no leash, no collar, no Greta.  And no worries. We love you.

Grimace the Purple

Nothin' like taking a nap with Grimace the Purple Monster. You think Isla might have put on a little weight or what?  Fiona, we might be catching up to the "Cheek Master"...

Holy @#$% Isla slept through the night!

OH MY GOD. Isla slept from 11 pm until 6:15 am. OH MY GOD. Life is so damn awesome. Of course I was up all night making sure she was still breathing! 

The First Coat

Since it's been FREEZING this week in our usually sunny Charleston, it was the perfect time to bust out the tiniest coat ever made. I think Isla should be the new spokesperson for Patagonia.

Again the theme is sleep...

Just like her Daddy...

Sleep Glorious Sleep

I must admit I am soooooooooooo jealous when I watch her sleep. I think sleep is so underated at this point, I wonder why everyone doesn't spend all their free time napping. Isla does! See, she's a genius already. Sweet dreams-R

10...2...6...10...2....6....

I want to thank my Parents for their sage advice on a tentative feeding schedule of 10-2-6. That's what we shoot for now and I got he BEST sleep last night thanks to them. The older I get the more I have to admit that your parents really DO know best. My 14 year old self is TOTALLY LIKE rolling her eyes OK!

Almost 6 Weeks

Where's my ROGAINE at?

Daddy sooooo sleepy...

Love ya'll

Napping Buddies

Isla is always so calm and happy when she's lying on her aunt Lauren. What's your secret L? Whatever it is you should bottle it and sell it to new mom's everywhere. You have a gift! 

Love, R and I 

The Best Gift Ever!!!

Introducing the....sleephugger! You use it instead of blankets. It reduces SIDS and helps babies sleep at night. My good friend Elizabeth got this from Canada for Isla. Now, she is starting to sleep in 4 hour increments from 10pm to 9am. I love the sleephugger so much. I may sew one for myself. Thank you E!

P.S. Just for fun here's Isla doing her "Drunken Sailor" impression. Love ya'll-R
