Cutie Pie/Freak Out!!

Elsie Anne had a nice morning blow out... not a good start to my day, but EA wishes she could start every day out w/ a tubby! She is now wanting to sit up in the tub... since she's been practicing so much on the floor w/ her 'Boppy' pillow!
She reached out for the front + pulled herself to this position.... but I had to help her back down!

I put her back in jammies (it was 7am) to take her morning nap! When she woke up I had her try on her new mittens for winter! These are 'infant' size, but I've never seen an infant that would fit into these!!!
I was able to nap while she did this morning, but that made us miss our Baby Boot Camp class! So, after lunch, we went to the soccer field @ the gym + did our own! I ran back + forth on the field, did lunges, squats, abs, etc + Elsie Anne got a kick watching me! I put her on the picnic blanket w/ me while I did abs + she rolled around + laughed as she watched me! She's such a fun workout buddy!

After our workout, we went grocery shopping + came home to play! That lasted about 30min + then she got fussy, so I started our normal nap routine + she just wasn't having it! I tried feeding her (again), she wasn't having it! She was already diapered, so I put her in the crib w/ her paci + lovey (sometimes she just wants down). After rubbing, patting, shhing, nothing would get this little pistol calm! So, I left the room (turned off the monitor) to clear my head. I tried this whole process 3 times + she was just pissed. I called Shawn so he could calm ME down. I let her cry for 25min :( it was so hard! But she finally gave up + crashed!!! I guess I'm not too good @ letting her 'cry it out' b/c I was crying myself!
