The 49th Month... The Hardest Ever!
Too say this last month has been hard is a freaking understatement!!! It seems like the day Micah Claire turned 4 she has bee sleep walking and sleep talking/screaming. I'll never forget the first night it happened. I was awoke at midnight by her screaming bloody murder "momma help me!" She was screaming it over and over. I jumped up from the bed and hauled you know what across the house to her room. I found her standing in the middle of her room just screaming. It took me a second to realize she wasn't even wake. So I woke her up BIG MISTAKE!!!! She immediately freaked out and went nuts on me. It took a long time to calm her down and we had to let her sleep in our bedroom to keep her calm. From then on it seemed like every night it was happening. One night she was begging me to come play with her; another night she was screaming that she wanted french fries, and one night she somehow climbed over her chair and got trapped between the chair and the wall. I have been like a dang zombie this last month. It has truly been exhausting to go through this. This lack of sleep even started taking a toll on her. She was so tired that she began acting out and throwing the most God Awful fits. She has gotten so many spankings, had tons of stuff taken away and even had to miss gymnastics because of her behavior. I am not proud of how I've reacted to all this; it's so taxing to lose sleep and have an ill behaved child. Last Sunday night I finally took her to her room and sat in the floor in front of her and broke down crying. I told that I had been praying for a month now that I could find a better, more christian way of dealing with her behavior but I was really going to change my prayer. I was going to pray that she began to sleep peacefully and behave like the sweet girl I know she is. She immediately began to cry and jumped into my lap. She apologized over and over again for her behavior and promised she would try harder. Let me tell you our prayers have been answered!!!! PRAISE THE LORD!!!! She didn't sleep walk once this week and didn't scream out in her sleep at all!!! And the last three nights she has slept all night in her bed!!! I truly hope these issues are past us and don't arise again!!!

A Fun and Not So Fun Week
Monday we had Kinley's One Year old Shots. I HATE shots & it kills me that they insist our sweet little babies take so many shots at one time. Kinley bugs was suppose to get 6 shots and I REFUSED!!!! So we only got three and we will get the rest over the next year and her MMR when she's over three years old. I don't know if the MMR is tied to autism like they say but to me it's not worth the risk so we totally avoid it for many years! Kinley did as best as you can expect a baby to do when getting three injections. It broke my heart to watch her cry like that! She was 29 1/2 inches and 22# 12oz; she is healthy and looks great on the growth chart!
Saturday Kinley somehow got a hold of a sucker and she bit a hole in it so I decided to just give her the entire sucker and she was very happy I did.....

Happy Birthday Kinley!
Today our sweet Kinley Bugs turned the Big One Year Old!!!! It's a bitter sweet day for me; happy that baby girl is growing and blossoming but sad that she's getting old so fast. For some reason it seems like her first year has flown by faster than Micah Claire' did.
After presents Kinley went down for an hour nap and woke up ready to play with some of her birthday goodies. And while she slept... The Razorbacks kicked some Aggie tail!!!!! WOOOO PIG SOOIE!!!!!!!!!!!! What a great day to turn One Year Old!!!!! Thanks to all our wonderful family and friends who helped us celebrate!!
