awake at 5 am & tree pose

this morning i randomly awoke without the crying out of my little one. confused i glanced at the clock. 5 am! chicka had not waken up all night! was i dreaming?! of course i ran to check on her... still passed out. i laid back down giddy and wide awake from proud momma syndrome. around 5:30 i heard her began to stir. a very soft lazy cry came from her room. i ran in, popped her paci back in and crossed my fingers. she finally woke up around 6:30! chicka,  my chicka, you did it. i'm so proud. here's a pic of chicka with snacks in her hair, she was an absolute mess right before church. she really needed a bath!

this morning before church we were hanging around outside since it was sooo nice out [compared to the normal 100+ degree temperatures we've been facing]. as i was letting chicka walk with my help she started to head towards the grass. her last encounter was NOT successful. she cried and demanded to be picked up refusing to touch her feet down. worried about ruining her good mood i cautiously let her adventure to the yard. putting one foot on the grass, chicka looked up for encouragement, thought about the second foot and decided it was a no go. chicka was stuck because she couldn't step back since her step forward was so huge. she would not put her other foot down for anything! it was too precious. what's a girl to do? she went into tree pose to save her other foot. sunshine from sunshine family yoga would be so proud! made dada run in and grab the canera to take some quick pictures before she got to upset!

chicka chicka boom boom, i'll write again real soon...
