And Baby Makes 3

Everytime I log onto my blogger account, what's the first thing I see? My baby Syrie's smiling face in the picture I have posted at the top of my blog. This was taken the day I saw her dance to music for the first time. The day she got to enjoy sun and a parade.

YUP, I have:)  She goes to bed wonderfully at night, same time as always, so you could say she's still on a schedule, but my thing is, how do you make a baby go back to sleep when they've clearly decided they're ready to be up for the day or should I say, Syrie is ready to be up for a couple hours until of course I need to get up for work, then she's ready to lay back down. The poor thing has been suffering with some allergies along with cutting four top teeth this last week, and so with all of that comes runny/stuffy nose and watery, itchy eyes, oh and just plain crabby.  I've been noticing her having a hard time breathing at night with the paci (pacifier) in her mouth and a nose full of snot...
