Hee. Lily’s been amusing herself with my big headphones, I managed to get a good shot of her.

I’ve also added some more pics to the Lily album! These were all taken during kungfupolarbear‘s visit. Some of them are already in the various sets I put up on Flickr so I won’t include them there.
The last four are me getting arty with the “Night Snaphot” mode on my camera… it gives a long exposure time but also fires the flash. I really like how they came out!
Some random Lily cuteness from yesterday at mum and dad’s.
Well, after all my glee in my last post, Lily had an absolutely atrocious night. 🙁
She woke up a bit before 1, I just put her dummy back in and she went back to sleep. Unfortunately she woke again at 3, with her nose totally blocked again. I attempted to give her another good squirt of saline solution, but I didn’t want to wake my roommates up with her crying. I brought her into my room and put her in bed, and she kept stirring and crying out for a good couple of hours. I finally got to sleep again at 5, and woke up an hour later to her stirring more (she wasn’t crying, just moving about, but I’m quite a light sleeper).
All up I probably got about three or four hours sleep last night. I was intending on having a nap on the bus on the way in to work, but I remained stubbornly awake. 🙁 On the bright side I’m a lot more awake than I was expecting to be.
I actually really truly felt like a father tonight.
I put Lily down a bit past 9, and stayed in the room with her for a while as she kept crying when I went to leave. She eventually fell asleep and I went out into the lounge room. About an hour later she started crying again, I went in and she was rolling around in her cot a bit with her dummy half in her mouth, trying to breathe. Her nose was completely blocked up.
She was crying fairly severely by this point, I went out and got the baby cold/flu drops and managed to give her some, although she was crying even more now because she was still mostly asleep and not sure what was going on.
I grabbed the baby saline sinus drops and picked her out of the cot, popped her down on my bed and attempted, mostly successfully, to give her a good squirt or two up each nostril. She was thrashing around quite a bit and crying a whole lot, understandably. Once I was done I was just lying next to her while she calmed down, just talking softly to her. I was lying on my side with my head on the pillow, and she actually rolled into me and curled up as she went to sleep.
I know it probably sounds silly, but I’m really proud of myself… I didn’t freak out or have to call mum for advice, I quickly worked out why she was crying and sorted it out, and she calmed down and fell back sleep with me holding her.

Yes, it’s yet more photos of Lily!
Hee. Yet more Lily!
And man she had a late night today… she only went to sleep about fifteen minutes ago (it’s currently 11:35pm here for those of you not in Australia!). Apparently she didn’t sleep all day then had a two hour sleep from 5:30-7:30. Fingers crossed it means she’ll get a decent sleep anyway!
I went up to mum and dad’s today to wash my car, so it’s all fantastically shiny and clean now! I’m parking in the garage now too, so it’ll be interesting to see how long it stays clean for (previously I was parking outside).
I’ve also snapped a few more pics of Lily just now!
That first photo is such a cute shot, and I had to crop my ugly mug out of it because I blinked right when the flash when off and look like a complete tool. You can still my hair poking out over her forehead too, which annoys me!
Plus, bonus photo of my car!
I’ve added some more photos of Lily to Flickr, plus some random out-and-about iPhone snaps.
And now to faceplant into bed!
I was up at mum and dad’s this afternoon with Lily, and the neighbours across the road were doing some gardening out the front. Lily saw them and we went to say hello, and she was quite delighted with the gardening gloves. I snapped some pics with my iPhone.
