What a Glorious Morning!

Our little pumpkin slept through the night for the first time! At only 6 weeks and 2 days old, we'd be crazy to believe this trend will continue. But who cares!? I just got the best night of sleep I've had in 3-4 months, considering I didn't rest well the last couple months of pregnancy. She slept from 10:30 - 6:30, and then again from 7ish to 11am, and she goes down fairly easily on most nights. The trade-off? She's a TERRIBLE napper during the day! She's fussy and we can tell she needs to nap, but she doesn't like being put down. I guess be careful what you wish for... we wanted her to be a snuggly baby and she certainly likes being held a LOT during the day.



We sat her up on the couch today and she actually really liked it! Here's our cutie pie:


Also, Jar celebrated my birthday early! Two nights ago, I received my BD present at 3:30 in the morning. "What on earth?!", you say. I've been telling J I want a smaller camera that will fit in my purse, because I refuse to carry around our big camera and the backpack of all the camera gear we own. I guess he got tired of having to lie and make up stories every time I mentioned the camera, so he decided to "run an errand" Friday night (picking up my new toy at the store). When Julia woke up at 3:30 for her middle of the night feeding, I went to pick her up and felt something hard and boxy in her crib. J had left the camera box in her crib, knowing I'd easily find my present there. Very clever!


Here are my first shots with my new toy...
