Babies sleep? pfghhh! I don't believe it. I think somebody is playing an excessively elaborate April fools joke on us in the middle of August (August already? I can't believe it). I have actually now uncovered the truth...babies run on batteries. As long as the batteries have juice, the baby keeps moving. And, it just so happens that Kylie is operating on batteries powered by nuclear fusion (I guess we better grab a Snickers, because we may not be going anywhere for a while). So, since I have time to reflect I guess that's what I'll do. Nat and I are in the stage of 1st time parenting where Kylie's sleep pattern and habits pretty much dominates our parental lives. We are pretty certain that she needs much more sleep, but it seems like the more we try to encourage sleep the less sleep she actually gets. She falls asleep at 8:00p presumably down for the count, only to wake up bright eyed and ready for a new day by...oh...9:00pm. She hasn't gotten the "full night" sleep idea yet. Hmm....if only we could think like a baby this might be easier.
In the end, Nat and I just tell ourselves that it must be a phase she is going through, and someday (possibly when she is grown and gone) we will once again get a little sleep. In the meantime we are just trying to enjoy all the fun and precious moments this little girl provides in our lives.....and there are plenty.
more to come soon,

p.s. Kylie had a fun time playing with someone her size today (Gina's son Jackson). Thanks for the play date!
