Baby Bundle

The other night Sophie and I went to bed at midnight, after which she got up at 3:30 a.m. And then again at 5:30 a.m. This after having slept through the night pretty well for quite some time. Probably a growth spurt situation, but you don’t wake up at 3:30 and think, “Oh, just a growth spurt.” You think “Whyyyyyyyyyy.” After feeding her at 3:30 I had assumed, reasonably, that I could get at least a four-hour block of sleep in. So when she woke up crying and hungry again at 5:30 I sat her down in the kitchen while I grumpily and groggily got her food ready. As soon as Ben walked into the room to commiserate with me, she turned on the charm, smiling and cooing and being übercute. Standing next to Ben for a moment watching her put on her happy show I said, “You’d think I’d have a hard time staying mad. But I’m not finding it that hard.”
(Addendum: I am happy to report after the 5:30 meal, she did go back to sleep for three more hours, as did I. We both woke up much, much happier.)
