Daddy's Homecoming

Hooray!! Daddy is finally coming home today! Brian has been gone for 11 days and I'm not sure who is more excited to see him; Hayley, Chloe or me! His trip originated as a business trip with GE to Canada and he spent the past 6 days in Atlanta at Army Reserve Drill. He was honored on Saturday during his promotion ceremony and we definitely wish we could have been there. Of course he picked a splendid day for air travel! :(

I know I'm definitely worn out. I honestly don't know how single parents do it! I've made a point to get out each day, even if it is just to the grocery store. Chloe and Hayley aren't always much for conversation, so it has helped to have even limited interaction with adults and I get a good excuse to dress Hayley up in one of her cute outfits! I'm still working on getting Hayley to sleep consistently through the night. We are having issues with "The Swaddle." She keeps busting out of it and waking herself up. I'm taking this as a sign that she is ready to retire "The Swaddle," yet she just doesn't sleep as good yet without it. Last night was our first night of the weaning process and she was up a couple times. I've heard that it generally takes about 3 nights to get over this, so I'm praying that it's one down and two to go!
