The Daily Hailey

Before I get too far into a post about what a weird night we all had, I have to report first and foremost that Dekker crawled last night! I cried a little. I know some of you may be thinking he’s “behind” in crawling or walking, but keep it to yourself because I could not be prouder. He army crawled (sometimes with the assistance of one of his legs) a decent distance to a toy he wanted, and he happily lay there and sucked on it while I kissed him and kissed him, tearing like a silly emotional mom. As per usual, we all cheered for him, which scared him like crazy and he cried and cried. He’s kind of funny that way 🙂 It was time for bed anyway. He can get a little sensitive before bed. So we put him to bed, and since all of us (myself, Brady, and Elvira) were feeling pretty tired, we all hit the sack.

So began the weird night. Did anyone else sleep poorly last night? We thought maybe it was the wind or something, but none of us slept soundly. We were all awake on and off, even Dekker woke up and cried a little once in a while, and I had wild dreams all night long. Something involving high school friends, playing “chicken” with wooden toy penguins (I don’t know), and being in a house rigged to kill. It was not a nice dream, and I’m glad its over. However, somehow my bedroom is ice cold and my feet can’t seem to shake it. Brrrrr!

Either way, I’ll get Dekker up soon and feed him breakfast, maybe see if he’ll crawl again. He is pretty scared to bowl over into the crawl position. He was doing it great a few days ago, really trying to get on his belly and crawl, but he did it at Shekina a few times and bumped his forehead on the hardwood, and I think he’s a little spooked. To the carpet we go!
