Another All Nighter: 1/30/06
Ian has noticed that Harriet pulls all nighters just before she accomplishes another milestone. Last night she was woken up by Sean when he had a nightmare and thought it was great fun to be awake.

In the interest of being awake for work this morning, I tried going to bed at half past midnight while Ian tried to get Harriet settled for sleep upstairs in her bouncy chair. I couldn't get to sleep and neither could Harriet (or Sean). So at one thirty I came up stairs to nurse Harriet. I was too cold fall asleep while nursing her so I just shivered while she ate and Ian slept on the couch.

At two thirty Ian sent me back to bed because I was getting irrational. I slept until six thirty at which point I got up to feed Harriet. Ian then slunk downstairs for a quick power nap while I did my morning publish for work and to brew a pot of tea. Oh thank goodness for P.G. Tips!

For breakfast Sean ended up having a granola bar while Ian and I later had Trader Joe's lemon and pumpkin bread. We just couldn't pull it together enough to have a family breakfast. Ian got Sean to school and came back with our breakfast. He and I ate the bread while I fed Harriet her rice cereal (with carrots).

Anyway, later in the day Harriet was able to sit on the floor without support for about five minutes. She eventually slumped over while she was trying to lean forward to pet Caligula.
