It's been a hard day's night...

How did we get so lucky? Brody is so happy these days, sleeps through the night, wakes up all smiles... growing like a weed! Oh, but then there is the occasional off-day. For some reason, Brody, I think, wakes up some mornings and says, "You know what... I don't want to nap at all today. I might miss something exciting." Now, I truly believe that his sleeping through the night is contributed to his nap schedule during the day. A cranky baby at the end of the day will not go down well at night- so true for Brody. So you can imagine how anxious I get when Brody hasn't napped but maybe an hour total all day. Adam snapped this picture of Brody and me last night after one of those days. About 8pm we both just kind of gave up and passed out. The picture says a lot about how the day went... notice how our bed has no sheets- they never made it out of the dryer from when I washed them in the morning. Two pacis- neither seemed to work. Me with no makeup, hair looking a mess. I finally laid down on the bed with Brody as a last effort to squeeze in even 20 min of shut eye. At about 9:30 Adam woke us up because it was Brody's bedtime and we didn't want to "mess up his schedule." Somehow he still slept 7 hrs straight, then fell back for another 3. I, of course, laid awake for a while thanks to my power nap, and expecting to hear Brody waking up within a couple hours. But I'm not complaining. And today he's back to amazing. Did I mention how lucky we are??? (and tired sometimes...) : )
