What do you do when you have a five month old daughter that doesn't go to sleep until near midnight most nights, and otherwise wants to be held and walking around the rest of the time (and this has been going on for three weeks)? Well, you certainly don't blog. In fact, you don't to get to do much of anything but wait and hope.
In other news, Michelle won a $25 Target gift card in a drawing at our community tree lighting ceremony yesterday. This was wonderful news -- especially since, before the drawing, I wisely made a deal that if either of us won one of the gift cards, we'd split it. (No comment on whether I'd have held up my end of the bargain if I'd won the gift card). Afterward, we headed straight over to Target to spend our winnings. Since Michelle wasn't enamored with the idea of using the gift card to stock up on Mint M&Ms (which were on sale for $2), we opted to finally purchase It's a Wonderful Life and White Christmas on DVD. Jared also got the toy hippopotamus he's been eyeing.
Maybe Emily will someday give Michelle and I a moment to watch these movies without requiring one of us to be up and walking -- carrying her around.

Yeah, Aaron...
Good luck with that.
Been there, done that, have the entire designer t-shirt collection (including the limited edition one that you have to buy from McDonalds at 2 am).
But seriously, for about the first 7 months of her life, my daughter had colic (sp?). We took shifts sleeping at night for anywhere between 1 and 2 hours (2.5 if we were lucky) and rocking her (or taking her out for a late night drive (sometimes she liked her car-rides). Thank goodness, our son wasn't like that. Studying on that schedule in college was NOT fun. :)
