sleeping...

I think we have mentioned this before, but one of our favorite things to do is get Mary up in the morning. She is always so smiley when she sees us and so excited to be awake. We put her to bed swaddled very tight... but somehow she almost always gets out of it by morning time. Here she is after we put her down....



and here she is when we come in...



and now she realizes that we're here to rescue her from her crib.... I can't get enough of that cheesey, cheeky grin.



Lastly, an update on the experiment.... it has been a success! She has been consistently sleeping 9+ hours at night for the last few weeks. I feel like a new woman now that I have my night's sleep back! Thanks, Mary!
