Sleepy Time in Faith Land

If there is one thing our new little Faith can do...it is sleep! She is a world champion sleeper setting a new Olympic Halley sleep record with only 10 minutes of recordable awake time yesterday. Today, as you can see, was equally exhausting:


When the princess is awake, we all line up to take our turn at holding her and looking into her glorious blue eyes. As it was in the womb, Faith has maintained her evening activity from about 8:00 - 10:00pm. This is proving to be a wonderful delight for the parents, as we are finding that for now, we can pretty much stick to our pre-Faith schedule, and then really enjoy her sweet attention once the older crumb crunchers are in bed.


The kids still get their time in with Faith though, as she is always on display - awake or not. Grace and Faith were able to share a little awake "sista" time this evening before bed time.

I just love looking at pictures of the "little princess". Keep them coming. The comments about the kids lining up to hold her reminds me of when your little sister Sarah was born. You all wanted a turn and would argue about who got to hold her longer. However, we solved that problem with the infamous oven timer. As Sarah got a few months older she quickly realized that all she had to do is let out a "wail" and it would set off a stampede of siblings in her direction to rescue her. That is how our Sarah became the spoiled "little princess".
Enjoy number three. I have found that third babies are often the most laid back and easiest. Don't spoil her too much. Leave that to me when I get there!!
Love,
