I laid in bed at 3am this morning observing my baby in the video monitor.
Why was I up at 3am?
Ask the baby.
Ever since her high temperature last week, she had stopped sleeping through the night again. So after the 3am feeding, I stuck a binky in her mouth and crept out of her room. (Ok, it took several tries before she took the binky.) I then laid in bed observing her ... what is it that she's doing that makes her wail every couple of hours?
Her head tousled left and right, left, right, left, right.
"Is she trying to get comfortable?"
Arms waving in the air as her head continued to tousle, trying to settle down.
"What is it that is making her uncomfortable? It's not like I can give a 5 month old a pillow."
Her right arm came swooshing down towards her face...
"What the?"
Her little fingers went grabbing for the binky.
"Darn these binkies have a loop handles!"
She yanked the binky out of her mouth, waves it around.
She then cries a bit ... head tousled some more.
Then she stuck the binky back in her mouth.
That game lasted for about 5 times...
Then she decided to just chuck the binky over the crib
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Head tousled some more ... followed by more wailing.
I sneaked in, re-insert the binky (again, after a few tries) and sneaked out.
Is my baby a hand-eye-coordination-genius?
** Ok, ok. I know all you experienced Mom know that at 5 months, it's typical that they grab stuff and lets go as a practice. But give me a break, it was 3am... let me indulge in that idea until I fell back asleep. **
YAWN!

For the record, my boy always had about 4 or 5 soothers going at once until he was about 18 months.
LOL My baby does the same thing I got a binky holder it attaches to her by a ribbon so she cant throw it at night.
I didn't get your email. :( They switched my server or something this weekend and I'm thinking it must have gotten lost in the switch. Can you resend it? LOL!
Maybe you should get the baby a Wii and let's see how high it can score on something ;) haha
