Dear Alice
Dear Alice,
I love you, but I also love sleep. Help me out a little bit.
Love,
Mama

For about a month, we enjoyed full nights sleeps. After Alice's second month birthday, she eased into a nighttime routine that involved an early bedtime and early wake up. I'm fine with an early wakeup if it includes uninterrupted sleep. After about a month, bedtime became a struggle, as did sleeping stretches of more than a couple hours. Getting up four or five times during the night is now the norm, and it is really starting to take a toll on me. I'm pretty sure the lack of sleep is related to this stressed out, overwhelmed feeling I've had so often lately. She gets up, sometimes eats, then it's a struggle to get her to go back to sleep in the crib. Here's hoping things turn around soon. Tonight she went to bed at 7:00 and it's now 11:00 and already has gotten up twice. I'm not sure how much more I can take.

Grammy and Poppy
Jack is lucky to have both sets of grandparents nearby. On Saturday he got to spend the whole day, just him, with Grammy and Poppy at their house. Looks like they had fun!

3, 5, 7
Thursday: 3 miles
Friday: 5 miles
Saturday: 7 miles
Lately I've been feeling pretty down. Running has always been my sanctuary and relief and it has been helping me get through these past couple weeks and I'm thankful for that. On Friday and Saturday's runs I ran with my mom on different-than-usual routes and both runs were great rechargers. I'm hoping I can keep up this consistency as the days continue to get darker and shorter.

October
October is long gone, but here's a little peek into what we were up to for the month. And by the way, ended the month with 55 running miles! |
| One of the few times we used the Bumbo seat, now put away until we order the recall kit. Alice can wiggle out of it in a way that Jack's chubby thighs never had a chance to do |
