One More Reason I Love My Child...

She is not a morning person!! Those of you that know me well know how much I love my sleep!! I was really worried about the whole "sleepless months" horror stories you hear about. However, I was blessed with a child that cherishes her sleep as much as her mother. I'm extremely pleased with her latest sleeping pattern. She's been going to bed around 8-9 pm and sleeping till 6-7 am. (Occasionally she'll wake up around 3 am... but only if she doesn't eat immediately before falling asleep.) She eats at 6 and then goes back to sleep till about 8:30-9. On good days she'll sleep as late as 10. Our rule is that if it's daylight outside, she can come to bed with us. And oh how she loves to sleep with us!! If she's in our bed she'll sleep till noon if we'll let her!! Some days she naps (30 min - 2 hrs), some days she doesn't. As long as she's sleeping well at night, I'll let her decide if she naps or not. She's napping on me now as I write this.

Some days we wake her up before she's decided it's time to get up. Here are some shots of one of those days.


Can you hear her screaming at Shane to "GET OUT OF HERE..."
"NOW!!!"

And one more reason I love my husband. Last night as we were discussing the breakfast food I recently bought at the grocery store, he commented how he liked the English muffin egg sandwich that the Williams made for him (kudos to Jen and Lang). I (half heartedly) volunteered to get up before he goes to work and cook him breakfast everyday. To which he replied (and I quote this exactly), "I'd much rather you enjoy sleeping in late than to get up and cook me breakfast." At that exact moment I could hear angels singing in the background.

I love my family!!
