So, Layla has slept really well the past two nights--starting around 7:00 p.m and going until about 7:00 a.m. this morning, with some early morning naps in mommy's arms as well. She of course gets up to eat about 5 or 6 times in there, but she goes right back to sleep when she's done. This is great for me--I get an almost normal amount of sleep if you string together all the 2-hour blocks! However, this means she does not sleep very well during the day, for some reason...often only about 40 minutes at a time, and sort of fitful and restless. Therefore, ALL of my pictures of her today (and I stopped trying after a while)look like this: (Plus, her new favorite move is to throw her shoulders forward and try to hunch forward/use her great abdominal strength to pull herself up, or anywhere other than the place she currently is. Sort of funny, but now she's never looking up at the camera or your face, she's staring down at her feet and grimacing.)
Layla, Finn, Cora and Kellan Schaefer's blog, for all the family members far and near who miss and love them...and who don't mind such a shamelessly Schaefer children-centered space.

Crabby baby...
