I have no idea what happened, but Amelia decided to spend the Christmas vacation not sleeping, literally. It was unfortunate since she was finally sleeping before we got up there. Tim came down with a doozie of a sinus infection so Amelia and I shared a room just the two of us. I am not sure if it was the fact that I was in the room with her, or it was too dark, or she was in the pack 'n play, or it Miles wasn't around, but she slept from about 7 - 10, 11:30 - 2, and then up again at 6. I tried to do the whole "cry it out thing", but she would stand up in her crib at the foot of my bed and just yell at me - and wake up the whole house.
And her lack of sleep at night made her very insecure during the day, and often was only happy in my arms. There were countless moments like the above when she would be all sorts of fussy about one thing or the other, I would pick her up, and she would just melt. (Amelia comforts herself by sucking her lower lip, which makes for a very sad looking face, but at least she is relaxed.)
