Crib Climber

So Thursday Night Bella decided to apparently take after me and climbed out of her crib. Lately she has been crying when we put her to bed and wants us to stay in her room with her until she falls asleep. We had broken her of this habit a long time ago and for some reason she started doing it again.

So Thursday Krissy put Bella in her crib and she was doing her usual bit of crying for "Momma" and Krissy went and laid down in our bed and started drifting off to sleep. Bella had pretty much stopped crying at this point so Krissy assumed she was falling asleep like she usually does.

A few minutes later Krissy woke up to Bella standing next to the bed saying, "Wake Up Momma!" I believe Krissy had a panic attack because she then wasn't sure if she had actually put Bella to sleep or not.

So Krissy put her back in her crib and she did it again. She climbed out of her crib and came back in our room. Krissy called to inform me that Bella had done this and that she was going to just leave her in our bed until I got home.

I got home from Lowe's at 11pm and both Krissy and Bella were sound asleep in our bed. I scooped Bella up out of our bed and put her back in her crib.

At 3:27 am I got woken up by Bella tapping me telling me to, "Wake up Daddy." If Krissy hadn't told me she was climbing out of her crib I probably would have had a heart attack. At this point I just picked her back up and put her in our bed.

Then she kept asking for the remote because she wanted to watch tv. So I basically didn't get any sleep all night because I had to deal with Bella kicking me as she tends to do when she lays in our bed.

Faceplant

So two weeks ago on Sunday we decided we would go to D'Angelo's sandwich shop for some subs. On our way out I was holding Bella's hand and she was hopping / jumping in the parking lot when her hand slipped out of my hand and she fell face first smacking her forehead off of the asphalt in the parking.

She immediately started screaming, as I think anyone would. I picked her up and then Krissy ripper her out of my arms and ran back into D'Angelo's. She got some ice and a blue cloth from the people who worked there and put some ice on her head.

She cried for about 5-10 minutes and then she was done crying. Then she started poking her forehead with her finger going, "I hit my head." It obviously didn't hurt that bad anymore at that point.

The next day she had scrapes all over her nose and a big red spot on her forehead but we were fortunate enough that she didn't even break the skin on her forehead and there was no blood. If there had been I can only imagine how much more freaked out everyone would have been.

Virus Virus Virus

(This was meant to be published after the emergency room visit)

Anybody ever notice that everytime you take a little one to a Doctor because they are sick it is because, "It's a virus." I always thought that when you went to the Doctor they might actually know what "virus" it is. Took Bella to the Doctor's again today because she now has a red rash over most of her body and I was expecting to hear that it was Roseola and all I heard was that it was a rash probably caused by the virus that gave her the temperature.



Anyways, We were sitting around the house on Sunday and we were pretty tired from being up with Bella the night before and Krissy was sitting on the couch with a coffee in her hands and had her head back and her eyes closed.



Bella looks over at her and goes, "No Sleep Momma, Drink Coffee."
