A Wa-Wa-holic

Last night, Camilla was super tired around 7:30, so we started our bedtime routine. Lately (since she's had her cough) she always wants to go to bed WITH her whole sippy, instead of just with a little drink of water. Sometimes in the middle of the night, she'll wake up yelling "WA-WA!!" over and over until I go in and find her sippy under her covers or at the bottom of her bed, or on the floor. After a strawberry milkshake and en episode of Smallville, Mr. Stannix and I decided it was time for bed and went upstairs. Before lights out, I like to check on Camilla and make sure she has covers etc. I tip-toed into her room to the sound of her deep breathing. She was laying on her back with both arms up under her head, elbows sticking out to the sides, and her sippy resting close bye. She looked very peaceful and angelic. I noticed her sippy was upside down and didn't want it to leak, so I very gently lifted it up, turned it over, and sat it back down maybe centimeters from where I found it. All of the sudden I heard the word "Wa-Wa" (water) whispered on an exhale and a little arm reached for the sippy and cradled it snug in a one armed hug. It was almost as if it was one of her most prized possessions and she was guarding it in her sleep. Her eyes didn't even open and she kept breathing in and out deeply. The funniest part, I thought, was that she was asleep through the whole thing!! I quickly, quietly as I could, tip-toed out of her room and burst out laughing at my bedside. I related the story to Mr. Stannix, actions and all, and we both laughed really hard! I had to hold my baby belly I was laughing so hard... That kid cracks me up!

In other news, I went and got my hair cut today for the first time in a very long time!! I'm pretty sure it's been over a year. It was nice to get it all thinned and freshened up. I think it's going to take me a bit to get used to the new look (especially the side bangs), but it wasn't a horrible cut.
