...in case you are wondering, sophie is supposed to be sleeping in this picutre!
i really don't mind spending time on my own...i should say, time alone with sophie, but it seems that the days that scott is not here are the days i need him most. allow me to show you first a few pictures of my beloved little girl and then explain the need for an extra pair of hands.
so scott left on wednesday for vancouver...i was a little upset that he was visiting the home land, but i couldn't complain having just come back from banff...anyway, scott left on the wednesday, the day after tuesday night when our little sophie decided to wake at five am and not return back to sleep until i finally hauled my butt out of bed to deal with her...this is a rarity in our house as she has slept through the night since eight weeks old. i am very strict about bed time, nine o'clock with no fuss, and she wakes at seven and feeds at eight. needless to say the five o'clock wake was a surprise. so the rest of the day was a bust...nap time really didn't happen as shown in the pictures, and we cried for a large portion of the day. ahhh where oh where was my scotty?
poor sophie was up and down from potential naps all day, with a little hanging out time in the middle. i finally got her down for a short nap and then some play time in her little water world. i think that this girl will be the only prairie girl who knows every sea creature and ocean wonder that ever was. she may live on the flat lands but she watches more surf videos and hears the roar of the ocean than most west coasters!
today was much better, lot of giggles and smiles, we are back on track and feeling good.i heard from scott last night and it sounds like he was hooking up with some old buddies today, i am glad for him as friends are so important to us.
well, this is our life...my life on my own.
here is hoping for a great day tomorrow...

oh I know. it's miserable, isn't it? I hope she behaves better for you.
ummmm, sleeping through the night (and not just 6 hours) at 8 weeks? do you know how blessed you are???? i honestly can't imagine putting a baby down for bed at 9 and not seeing then till 7! i'm praying for my own version of Sophie this time around! dear God, PLEASE!
hope you survived without your man. we were glad to see him here though. i didn't get to see him for very long, but i know andy enjoyed a coffee out with him and few others.
