I can't sleep

I can't sleep because Lexie is up every 2-3 hours around the clock. I can't sleep because I have insomnia. Wally has been out of town since Thursday and I am SO TIRED!!!

Lexie has colic, I think. She is very fussy in the evenings lately. Last week she started crying at 8:30pm exactly almost every night. The past two nights she started earlier. She cries anywhere from half an hour to 4 or 5 hours. It's exhausting and frustrating not to know exactly what's wrong or how to help her feel better. I'm hoping this phase passes quickly.

Aiden, Julia and Wally are all doing great. The kids are enjoying school and Wally is back to work. We had a good time while he was on vacation last month visiting with family, but now we're back to these frequent short trips for work. Blech. I just want him home! When Wally is gone, all Aiden wants to do is follow me around the house. He'll play with Julia, but he also spends a great deal of time at my feet saying "Mama, mama" He's talking so much. He said his first sentence this week! We were in the garage and he didn't want to go inside so he told me "No go-go!" We're still working on animal sounds too, but right now all animals say "woof!"

Lexie looks just like Aiden! It freaks me out. Lately she's been wearing some of the onesies that he wore, the gender neutral ones, and it's like deja vu. She looks exactly what he looked like at this age, she's just smaller than he was!

I have to register for my Spring classes this week. No word yet on where I will be doing my internship. I'll be relieved once I've registered. I've been worried about getting the right sections of the classes I need, I have so few left. My advisor put a hold in my name on two classes for me, or maybe it was just one. I can't remember. I register on Halloween. Until then, I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

I'll have to remember to get back on here later this week to post their Halloween pics. Julia is going as Hermione from the Harry Potter series and Aiden is going to be Spiderman. They both tried on their costumes a couple of weeks ago and they look adorable. Aiden's really going to enjoy it this year.
Happy Halloween!
