Out and about

Quinlynne climbed out of her crib for the first time months ago. We were lucky enough that she did it a couple of times- then that was it. So, we were able to continue sleeping to our hearts' content. Now, however, she climbs out every morning. We can not sleep in any more. :-( Every morning my sweet little girl with Medusa hair comes in and says "MOMMA- ake up! ake up, ake up! Momma, enut bubber" (Momma, wake up, etc. Momma- I want peanut butter!) Oh, how I miss the days of sleeping in! Whatever happened to that little baby I could just stuff a pacifier in the mouth of and keep on sleeping????

What's funny is- she only climbs out in the mornings. When she goes down for her afternoon naps- she stays in her crib. If she climbs out of her crib while it's just Grandi in charge- Grandi takes her back in her room and makes her climb back into her crib by herself! How funny is that??

So, since it hasn't been consistently warm enough for us to go without panties, we may work on something else. I think we're going to work on getting those fingers out of her mouth. Now, I need suggestions for this. I tried putting hot sauce on her fingers a time or two and that does not work. She got a funny look on her face when she put her hot fingers in her mouth- then she kind of shrugged her shoulders and continued to suck on them. She likes hot stuff! What is that stuff you put on your fingernails when you're trying to stop biting them??? Someone, help!!!!

The nail stuff is called no more biting, but that doesn't work either.
When she gets a little older you can just do what I do and set out a bowl of cereal and put the t.v. on the cartoon chanel, that way when she gets up she can pour her own milk and push the power button on the t.v.. This usually buys another good hour of sleeping in.
