Sleep? We don't need no stinkin' sleep!



This picture says it all, really: Mama and baby sacked out at about 10:00 AM. We had our first taste of real, on our own parenting last night, and remarkably little of it involved sleep for Mom or Dad. Currently, Morgen seems very uninterested in sleeping anywhere except in one of our arms. And last night, she was feeding almost every hour. As a result, we had to take turns holding Morgen while she slept and sleeping ourselves.

Still, we made it through, and this morning Morgen and I had so much fun playing our new favorite game, rubbing noses. The rules are simple: I make silly faces and noises and make a general fool of myself. Then I bend forward to rub my nose side to side against hers, and she makes a face at me. Jessica pointed out that Morgen probably thinks my nose is a nipple and is trying to suck on it. She also seems to like the vibrating Link-a-Doos chair; she sat in it quite contentedly for 25 minutes or so, while Mom and Dad played the aforementioned rubbing noses game with her. Here are two pictures of her in her chair, a close-up and one of the two of us playing rubbing noses.

Living with sleep deprivation is an art only new parents truly attain at the highest level. New babies often are on the opposite schedule (day vs night). But she will get the hang of it I am sure.

Morgen's little seat sure it cute.

Hang in there. Keep the pictures coming.
