Too Much Fun

Well, after a sleepless night, Riley and I headed off to the doctors this morning to figure out what was bothering her. My money was on her ears. Well, good thing I am not a betting woman, her ears are totally fine. So, after the doctor looked her over she informed me that she is totally fine. She is eating great and gaining weight (now 13.3!! A month ago she was 11.8!!) She asked me what a typical afternoon entailed for Ri Bear. So I informed her that she loves to play and that she is now playing on her play mat, exo-saucer, sitting in her Bumbo chair, and also watching her new Baby Einstein DVD's. The doctor told me that that was her problem.....she is having too much fun at one time!! That I should have her play in one toy, then relax (sit quietly with me or take a nap). Then after she has relaxed, she can play with a different toy. She has become over-stimulated.

So, today was a quiet and low key day. I headed off to the pool with my friend Erin and Riley stayed home with her Grandma Bouch. They just hung out together and relaxed. So come 7pm tonight, she was totally ready for her three B's: bottle, bath and bed. She is out like a light now!!

Here is to hoping for a "normal" night again!!
