This has to be one of the cutest faces in the whole world. Seriously, Addi is so stinkin' cute that it's hard to get mad at her. Except at night. She's killing us. She's never been a great sleeper, but we moved her to a little bed, and now she is a nightmare. She wakes up at least once a night. If she wakes up anywhere close to 5am, she's up for the day. Once she's up, she doesn't shut up either. She talks really loud about how she's hungry and how she wants breakfast and cereal and how her "back hurts so bad". It's really rather annoying. But now she's waking up a few times a night. I feel like we're past the stage where we should let her cry it out. I mean, she'll be two in a few weeks. I have no idea why she is waking up. We tried cutting her naps short during the day and then letting her stay up later at night. That didn't help. We tried making sure she ate right before bed so she wouldn't get hungry. That didn't help either. We haven't tried putting her back in a crib. Is that my only option? If it's really going to work, I wouldn't mind doing it, but I'm not convinced it will work. Anyway, it's killing both me and Clark. I have to say, that Clark is usually the one getting up with her, only because I'm better at ignoring her. But I do get up with her sometimes, and she's so loud that the whole house knows when she's awake. So, I need help. Any ideas?

I really do love this little ballerina dearly (the picture is of her trying to be a ballerina). I can't imagine my life without her. She makes me laugh multiple times throughout the day, just because of the things she says. As I said earlier, she's not quite two and she's got a vocabulary that would put some three-year-olds to shame. But it's like her fangs come out at night and she turns into a needy, stubborn girl. Okay, she's needy and stubborn during the day too, but not to the extreme she is at night. I would appreciate any and all thoughts you may have on the topic. I'd even be willing to let someone take her at night (hehe).
