sleep, sleep, and more sleep

Oh, blessed sleep!!!!

She's slept through the night for the past three nights. Could anything be better? A happy baby whose schedule I now usually can predict and around seven hours of uninterrupted sleep at night!!!!

Yesterday was a long day--a 2+ hour trip (one way) for Daddy's friend's wedding. The wedding was at 1:30 and the reception wasn't until 6:00! We had almost four hours to kill in between, and in an unfamiliar place with a three month old who has difficulty sleeping away from her own bed, this was a difficult task. She really was as good as she could be, given the circumstances. She slept on and off in the car (she hates her car seat), and behaved VERY well during the wedding and reception, and in between as well, as we hung out at a nearby mall with some of Daddy's old friends. She reached her limit, though, around 8:30 pm, after hardly any sleep all day. We didn't get home until almost midnight, and boy was I thankful to deposit her in her crib for some real sleep. She slept without a peep until 6:30 this morning, woke up and ate, and went right back to sleep. And currently she's on nap number 2, which has lasted three hours! She's one sleepy girl!

Here's a picture of Mommy and baby at the reception yesterday. She looked so sweet, all dressed up.
