Well, after almost 8 months we've FINALLY come to the realization that God gave us a child that desperately needs her schedule and consistency. If not, then all falls to pieces. Literally.
We took our family trip to Leavenworth for our Christmas present - Lance and I thought it would be nicer to have "experiences" as a family than gifts. We like to do that for our anniversary too. We thought we had it all figured out just perfectly, but alas, you throw a stubborn baby in there, and your plans are foiled. ;)
So, to make my long story short....Lilah did NOT nap as planned on the way there. So, between when she woke up from her first nap to bedtime was 9 1/2 hours. Too long for a baby. Way too long. Getting her to bed was easy. She went right to sleep and Lance and I cuddled in this little alcove in our room with a dvd on the computer and snacks all ready to go. She was fast asleep until the end of the movie (I guess we can be thankful for that). Then, to make this story short and less painful to revisit...we all got about 3 1/2 hours of sleep after that point all night! UGH! Luckily Lance steps up to the plate in situations like this, because I melt down in tears and don't function. So he might have gotten 3 hours of sleep as the poor guy worked to get Lilah down much harder than I did.
The place we stayed at was wonderful - the best food and the coolest rooms/cabins. We hope to go back again. However, our plan to travel with the little one was not so successful. Lesson #159= wait to travel with Lilah until she gets a little older, therefore now - we leave her at granny's and we go just the two of us. Got it.
