It's so funny

Anyone that has talked more than 30 minutes with me in the past month can tell you that Presley is an awesome baby that sleeps fairly well at night ( 8 hours with a feeding in between)...but during the day its a different story. People would say, "sleep when the baby sleeps". But by the time I fell asleep the baby was up. Most days out of the week she can sleep as little as an hour. Last time I checked 2 1/2 months was still newborn but she's not sleeping like a newborn...But as a good friend keeps telling me (thanks Sarah) she is her own person, an individual. What you can't see out of this picture is the huge 56 inch TV with Baby Einstein playing. You also can't see the hour she just spent being fussy and me putting her in her bouncer to watch Baby Einstein for just a few moments while I frantically made a sandwich in the kitchen hurrying so that I could feed her. As I finished making the sandwich I was surprised to see her calm down. I thought, maybe I have time to eat it...then she was still watching so I thought maybe I could write something in my blog. After going through the video once, since she was still interested I turned it on again...and much to my extreme surprise she did something she has never done before...Fell asleep on her own. God knows when you just need a break :)

I love the "what you didn't see..." part. It is so so true! I feel like that all the time. I love reading your words!
