Ramblings...

Olivia fell asleep at 10:30am and is still asleep! What the...? I'm not complaining-- really, I think it's fabulous. I just wish she would be a bit more predictable. Oh well... all of my friends that are experts at parenting (yes, you know who you are) tell me this is completely normal. Whew!

Unfortunately, I didn't take full advantage of this time to myself because I figured she would be awake in 30 minutes... I would have taken a nap (she's been waking up at night and it's killing me)!

Yesterday Olivia and I met up with my friend, Nicole, for a nice walk around the neighborhood. It felt so good to get out and see the sun. I bundled her up in a sweater and buckled her in her stroller and she was asleep about 30 minutes into our walk. I think she got a good 45 minutes of sleep! Who would have known that a little warmth from the sunshine and a bumpy stroller ride would lull her to sleep?

I'm no expert so I hope you aren't talking about me. I have just dealt with a really good sleeper and a really awful sleeper! Someone told me once that when your kids sleep more than usual, it means they are going through a growth spurt! It always works out on the day when you don't expect it so you don't do anything during naps because you think they will wake up any minute and then they sleep for 4 hours!!! Totally stinks!

I would love to have someone push me around the block a time or two while I took a nap, those were the days!
