Baby Girl is fierce.
This weekend she woke up almost every two hours all night long. There is definitely an adjustment period moving to her crib. Apparently she is going to take after her Daddy and be a midnight mover and shaker because she is already spinning in circles and rolling around, checking out all corners of the crib. There is no stillness in any of my children, even when asleep.
So all this moving keeps shaking her pacifier loose and getting her feet stuck on the sides of the crib and all that jazz...leading to her waking up and objecting. Last night may have been more my fault since apparently as I sleep walked through making her bottle I did not perform the kind of important step of adding formula....sooooo....I gave her a very filling 8 oz bottle of water in the middle of the night. Oops.
She doesn't cry really. She hollers. There is no whimper, no sadness, no being scared or upset or confused. There is just a gigantic burst of noise that sounds like she is issuing commands. Last night, in my exhaustion, I imagined that she was scolding the tiger on her mobile. It kinda sounds like this, with her yelling an indistinguishable phrase and then pauses momentarily before continuing on.
Baby Girl: RAWR!! AHHHH!grumblegrumbleGRAHHH!
(silence)
Tiger: But, I was just...
Baby Girl: NANA!!indignantsniffROAR! BWAAAAAA!!!
Tiger: I am sorry, could I just explain...
Baby Girl: Silence! Fool.
Ok, that last part might have been a stretch. Sleep deprivation does funny things to a person. But the rest of it I can totally see. That tiger has no chance. Baby Girl will eat him alive.
