Yawn...

So, I wanted to write yesterday and praise my beautiful baby for her new and fabulous schedule which included a 2 to 3 hour nap in the afternoon. That's right, I said THREE HOUR NAP - woo hoo!! However, after going on an epic 3-day stint of said schedule she abrubptly changed her mind yesterday and not only did she not nap for anything over 30 minutes but she also decided to wake up and 6 AM after being on a sleeping-in-until-atleast-8 AM schedule for several weeks now... Aaaahhh, babies are good at throwing you a curve ball once in a while, huh?

Not that I could ever even get mad at her, let alone stay mad, for causing me some extra yawns, I mean how can you get mad at this face?...




As she so excellently displays in this picture, she is doing very well playing on her tummy these days, holding her head up and rolling over ALL the time! So, no, for all the safety experts out there, I do not leave her alone like this on the bed, in fact I can hardly stray a few feet from the fabulous rolling machine that she is. So, we play a lot more on the floor now, where she exhibits her newly acquired back-to-front AND front-to-back rolling skills, as well as showing off her new 'scooching' skills, which I'm sure is a precursor to crawling - TAKE YOUR TIME BABY, no need to start chasing you around or gating you in just yet. So perfect right now, can't get into too much trouble, can you...




Well, it's almost a staggering 7:15 AM and no peeps from the little one - good for you baby, go baby go!, sleep on, sleep on. Maybe today will be the first day of a new epic of sleeping in AND napping, well, I'd settle for either one, yawn....

well, well, well. Didn't I tell you she would start napping when she became more active, and rolling and scootching qualify. Kyle didn't do a lot of crawling ever but who knkows. She is going to be ready for that exersaucer or jumping thing soon. Try to find one at a consignment shop or a yard saleand then clean it really good. I can just see her jumping around in it. Got to write reports but talk soon. When are you coming in town?

Hi Honey -- how WONDERFUL!! Probsbly she is able to sleep longer/better because she is using up so much energy rolling, scootching, maintaining her upright posture, etc. Don't worry that she will crawl/walk too soon -- you were just on schedule -- and LOVED your mobility -- remember pushing the chair around and around and around and around the LR/DR/kitchen connections?? Enjoy -- she looks like so much fun -- we sure miss all of you, give Ella big hugs, lovmom
