Baby A

My littlest, who just turned a year old a few weeks ago is proving to be so much different from her siblings. H and K have always been energetic and talkative but A is all of that and more. I didn't think it was possible for a baby to have any more than my first two but she proves me wrong at every turn. I love watching her big personality develop, she will be a force to be reckoned with. She never stops, she talks all day in her own language, runs through the house giggling and screaming, stops long enough for a kiss and a hug here and there. It's been a whole year of absolutely no schedule ever. I keep trying to get a schedule and as soon as I have something down for a week she'll throw a wrench in that plan. Bedtime is anywhere between 7 and 10 PM depending on how she feels about it and morning wake up can be anywhere between 5 and 8 AM. She still does not sleep through the night but gave me a week of sleeping 6-10 hr stretches at night and then last night was up every 2-4 hrs. She'll spend a week taking awesome naps of over an hour long and then decide she's only going to sleep 30 min at a time. I think I've about given up on schedules with her. She is a little lady who knows what she wants already and who am I to try to change her mind? She is the boss in the house and sometimes I worry that I've spoiled her or something to make her this way, but then I think no she's still a baby it's not possible to spoil her yet, I haven't done anything too drastically different from when her brother and sister were this age. For now I'll keep my coffee maker going and accept that I don't need sanity for the next few years.
