gabriella has a bedtime routine. it includes a breast feeding session with mommy, a bath, a bottle via daddy, and a song or 2 by daddy. this alway puts her to sleep for a good 3-4 hours...once even 5! by 8 or 9 pm, if we don't start this routine, ms. ella becomes ms. cranky pants. no matter what we do, she just cries. well, last night, after i breast fed her at 9 pm, she fell asleep until midnight. we have a rule in our house: never wake a sleeping baby. so, when she woke up at midnight, i dragged myself out of bed, prepared her bath while john undressed her. we finished her bath and got her dressed for bed. before john was about to give her her bottle, she was so alert and invigorated from her bath that i just had to take her picture.
this one is my favorite.
then, it's lights out and sweet dreams for our baby girl.
