Sleeping Rituals

Our previous sleep setup had our Nuffin in the bed with us. Probably for the first month of life. For all those who feel the need to say "Ohh my God" or "You can't do that" or "You won't have a sex life" you would be correct. Does it make you feel better if we call it the Sears method? Although it was extremely cute to have her in the bed she started kicking her feet in her swaddle and banana kicking me in the head all night. So this past week we yet again realized how little we knew about parenting and proceeded to correct our mistake.

The way sleep works presently is that you wait for 3 yawns then do the following:
Quickly swaddle
Turn down the lights
Turn on the fan on high
Crank up the Giraffe
Say "Its time for all little ones to go to sleep"
Lay beside the crib and insert a finger/thumb into her mouth. More on our no pacifier use later. (Seriously are we this big of hippies?)
When the finger/thumb is rejected, perform a military roll away so you can no longer be seen.
Wait in the trenches and hope the area remains quiet.

Lack of solid sleep isn't bothering me at all. This photo is not taken before I made coffee it was after. Renee alerted me that I had just made a delicious brew of hot water.




Nightly shower ritual. Possibly the cutest thing ever when she gets all the water beaded up on her face.



This photo is what I call pumping feets.
