The Joys of a Sleeping Baby

At 8-weeks-old, this little preciousness has slept 8 hours for Mommy and Daddy for two nights in a row now!! And then she sleeps another 2.5 hours after that! Could this be a trend?! Even if it's not, this little one has been an awesome sleeper from the start. I don't know if it's just her or her bed, but she will continue to sleep in her little hammock bed as long as possible! Mommy functions so much better when given ample sleep time :) She is also smiling quite a bit now. This morning while nursing, she had to stop a couple of times so she could look up at me and smile--so cute. And she is very curious already. There have been a couple of times when MJ and/or EM were around, and she had to stop eating to see what they were doing :)
Each baby has seemed easier to me. I don't know if it's because my perspective of "easy" changes a little each time or what, but right now, Kerith is an easy baby :) Don't get me wrong--she does her fair share of crying--it just happens to be during the day and not at night :) And she gets held quite a bit too, but that works great with me b/c I like to hold her and so do MJ and EM :) And she's nice and chubby, so I don't have to worry that she's not eating enough :) She is oh so cute!
