Tarzan, meet Jane

Tarzan, meet Jane.
She is ready for the Jungle.
She is a beast. (Well, she was last night anyways)
Don't let this cute face trick you
Picture taken on Sunday, June 13th, at 8:30am:
Recap:
Sunday June 13th  
12am, Elena wakes up, crying
Mom quickly gives her a little milk, and she is back to bed.
1:30am, ditto
3-ish am, ditto
5am!!! ditto
I send Dan into the living room to sleep because he has a 6:30am bishopric meeting
We all need sleep dang it!  
I let her scream back to sleep because I have no energy and no longer care about the neighbors
5:45am Dan is getting ready for Bishopric meeting.  
Elena sees him, starts cying
I scream, "Get her out of here!  Put her in the living room!"  I fall back asleep.
6am, Dan leaves for work, Elena's on her own to prowl the apartment, I am asleep in the bedroom.
~6:45am, Elena crawls into the bedroom, crying
I zombie out of bed, feed her, she falls back asleep, I fall back asleep.
8am, my alarm goes off.  Must... get... ready... for... church.  No... energy.  I press snooze.
5 snoozes later.
8:30 am, I finally get up.  Quickly shower.  Make-up is lost somewhere.  Oh well.  Elena is awake, looking like Jungle woman Jane.  Took a picture.
9am, church started.  We missed the first few minutes.
But we made it!

Speaking of jungles, Dan and I went on a local hike yesterday, since it was so sunny and gorgeous outside!  We forgot the baby carrier, so we took turns holding her.  It was a fun little hike.   Ferns everywhere!

Look at her face, Elena is stinky cute!

I love,love,love her million dollar smile...

I think Elena need more solid food during the day. She seems like drink a milk like a water not as main meal.
Remember,She has teeth now.

You live great place and so many beautiful to go!

Well, I must confess that I no longer have a perfect sleeper on my hands either, but DANG girl! Elena needs some spakies, not more solids :) LOL
Hope she is doing better for you. This is like the worst part of being a parent- lack of sleep. It may seem like it never ends, but fortunately, it does...when they're like 2 years old...hm.. but then tantrums start! So good luck !!!
