Oh, what a better night!!! After Kaeli wailed for more than half an hour while Laurie and I entertained ourselves in the bathroom, she settled down for the long night. She got restless about every hour or so and would cry one or two wails, but then go back to sleep. There was one time that she cried for several minutes, but when I sat up to pick her up, she was still laying down, so I stayed quiet and she went back to sleep. Other times she would burble to herself or rock the crib and go back to sleep. Mom of course was awake at the slightest sound from her daughter.
We got up around 7:15am while Kaeli was still sound asleep. She woke a little later is now on my lap gurgling and chattering and pulling everything she can reach off the desk while I'm blogging one handed. Laurie is playing peekaboo behind the drapes with her. Kaeli occasionally gets down to retrieve something from the floor, but then wants right back up on Mom's lap. It will be interesting to try to take a shower shortly!
She chatters and gurgles and giggles and has this smile that takes her whole face in, and we've discovered she has two dimples. She is unsteady on her feet, rocking from one foot to the other while walking, ad she goes backward as much as forward still. She gets a real serious look on her face when she's watching something new, and you can just hear the gears turning.
I'm going to try for a shower now, if she'll let me. She knows just how to melt my heart now by lifting up her arms and giving me this really sweet smile looking up at me, wanting to be on Mom's lap!
