Sleepy Head

This is Faith hanging out in her Daddy's old PJs from when he was a baby! (I don't know why her left eye was red that night - too much poking from a big brother?? Thats a real possibility...).

I waited too long for her to wear her Daddys PJs, though. They're a size large and are suppose to be for up to 18 lbs. Well, our little princess isn't near 18lbs, but she has some seriously long legs & an equally long torso... so the PJs barely fit her now. But at least she got one evening in them!

How big is Faith? At 3 1/2 months, she weighs 15 1/2 lbs and is 25'' long!

And, most importantly... she is finally starting to sleep through the night! She's slept from 11pm-6am 3 of the last 4 nights. Yay! Although I realize that since I shared this detail, she'll stop sleeping through the night now...

Faith is a serious sleepy head. I think she takes after her mother. When she wakes at 6am to eat, she goes back to sleep. Then she takes 4-5 MORE naps later in the day. Usually about 75-80 minutes after she eats. And they last anywhere from 30-90 minutes, with the exception of one longer nap in the middle of the afternon - usually 3 hours. I've been trying to get her to stay up more - hoping that would allow her to sleep through the night. Some days I'm more successful than others. But evidently the number of naps she takes isn't a factor in her ability to sleep through the night.

She just loves her sleep! And I can't blame her one bit :)
