TV or not TV

wow, she's only 14 weeks old and is mesmerized by the TV. We put on a Baby Einstein DVD Monday night to see what she'd do. She just stared at the TV. She and Josh just set up camp (as evidenced by this picture) and watched. Now, on the one hand, I don't want Eileen watching loads of TV. Then again, it IS what I do for a living! I can just hear the argument- 5 years from now- "but MOM, why can't we watch (insert popular show here)? You get to make TV, shouldn't we get to watch it?!"

In the mean time, there are those days when I could use 20-30 minutes to get some things done, so what's the harm in letting Eileen learn to count with Baby Einstein?!

Now, this picture to the left.. oh my! Eileen was chilling out in her swing this morning while Mommy took a shower. When I got out, this is what I saw. She was out cold, sound asleep- and holding onto this little yellow thing with all her might! She stayed that way for at least 20 minutes. Too cute.

She's currently upstairs sleeping in her C R I B. no more bassinet. We moved her up there last week.. we've had some good nights and some bad nights. I am really hoping she's settled into her own room by the time I go back to work in less than one week. I had a hard time getting her down tonight.. mainly b.c I think she's exhausted from all of our errand running today. She's so tired but she refuses to sleep. She likes her vibrating chair, so I put the chair INTO her crib, and she's in the chair in the crib. Josh is paranoid that she'll slide out of it. I, on the other hand, am a firm believer in stick with whatever works! I know she can't sleep that way forever, but for now.. if the vibrating gets her to fall asleep, and the slightly upright position helps her gas and congestion.. then YAY for Mommy and Daddy and let's hope we can get a good night's sleep.

Later Taters!
