Little Booger

Madison is really starting to figure out she controls her own actions.

Last night was exhausting for me, just a lot going on and little sleep.  Typically Madison goes down around 8 and afterwards I pick up around the house and get ready for the next day, but last night was another story.  Little toot did not want to fall asleep so by 9 I just put her down in her crib with her blanket and planned to let her "talk" or "play" herself to sleep and I crawled into bed really early.  I laid there listening to her "talk" over the monitor and I just smiled because it warms my heart.  After awhile the talking went away and I figured she was sleep, so I snuck in there to check on her one last time.  I find her wide awake and on the opposite side of the bed with her head pushed into the corner smiling away.  She has discovered how to use her legs to kick her way around.  She would even place her feet on top of the crib bumpers and really push off.  She thought it was really funny and she was very proud of herself.

Then today after lunch I put her down for a nap like I do every day before heading back to work and when I went to check on her before walking out the door she had her "lovee" over her face and as I pulled it off she smiled and started laughing.  She thought she was really cute, however it made me so much more nervous and I informed my sister to keep a strict watch over her as I do not like that blanket on her face.  In retrospect I should probably just remove the "loveee" from her crib, but she just loves to fall asleep with it.  I do however have the baby angel care monitor on and it makes me feel a little bit better even if it does give off a few false alarms.


Our little toot
Side note: my crib might look dangerous to others with the loose blankets and crib bumpers.  No judgement please. :)
