Needing a little R & R...

This is what I meant when I said we are still trying to recover:


Poor Little Sister. Vacation, teething, and weekend day tripping can wear a girl out.

Oh. And carrying random stuff around (shhh! Yes, those are disposable diapers) while stepping over the self-made obstacle courses all over the house.

And reading. And figuring out how all of those darned toys work.

And feeding your big sister (I wish there were audio with this pic because you would hear her saying "Mmmmmm" while she watches Big Sister taste whatever she just handed her.)

And returning all of those important phone calls.

I mean, who wouldn't be worn out?

So that explains why she fell asleep after breakfast. I am hoping it also explains the new personality she is exhibiting- the one that hit me when I wouldn't give her my car keys, bit her sister on the boob (or chest, or breast, or whatever other awkward word Hannah decides to use today) and flung her baby dolls on the ground when they didn't cooperate.

Yes, dear friends, I am a little concerned, because as horrible as my eldest child can be from time to time, I do not remember this level of stubbornness or impatience displayed in her early toddling days. I'm really hoping this is not an indicator of things to come! I'm praying that, with some rest and the end of this round of teething, I'll see the return of this little darling.

Of course, you should have seen it before I fixed the red eye...
