Sleeping Beauty

At 7 weeks, one of Marin's main responsibilities is to get enough sleep. Babies should be sleeping 12-14 hours a day (yes, Mom, that is what the book says....:o). I'm not sure if Marin sleeps quite that much these days but she sure does do her very best! And she is so cute at it too!
She takes about 3-4 catnaps a day for about 30-40 minutes. Hopefully these mini naps will eventually turn into 2 longer naps but for now that is what she likes! And it still takes her a few minutes to get fully awake. She will stretch, rub her eyes, and grunt a few times before you get the "pick me up now" smile. Sometimes you can get some good post nap snuggling but usually she's hungry or she's got a big doodly doo in her pants and she needs to be changed. Sometimes I think its her digetive system that causes those short naps...stinkin' doodles.
At night, she goes to bed around 9:30 and will wake up twice throughout the night (3-4 hour stretches) to eat and get changed. She wakes up for the day at around 6:30-7:00. The past two nights, I have kissed her good night and put her in her bassinet and she has put herself to sleep. Yay! She still sleeps in our room in the bassinet. Burke and I are discussing when she should be moved to her crib in her room. Yikes!

But overall, I would say we have a great, great sleeper! So thankful!

Love those cheeks and nugget fingers...


Arms up....

Here is a video from our vacation. If you listen really closely, you can hear some sweet Marin snores.
