12-20-11 - Rebecca is the queen of sleep!

Rebecca is sleeping like a dream these days.  She gets fussy between 7-8pm and once she has a bottle and her pj's and sleep sack, she actually giggles on the way up the stairs to her crib.  I can place her in her crib, turn on her music, and she is content to go right to sleep without a peep.  Scott says it's because she tired after 11 months of not sleeping!  It is wonderful and she just looks like an angel when she curls up with her thumb in her mouth and her froggy in her arms to go to sleep.  She will usually sleep until between 6-7am, when we'll hear her calling for us (but not usually screaming) and we'll bring her into the bed with us for a few minutes.  She will not usually go back to the sleep though, but will sit still for a few minutes watching Semsame Street.  She is still a baby that is on the move, and doesn't seem to enjoy sitting still for very long.

Ben is getting so big and grown up.  Many days after school he exclaims that "I want to go somewhere", which usually means he wants to go to Arby's or McDonald's for dinner.  Just these past few days he's started using the words "Dad" and "Mom" instead of "Daddy" and "Mommy"...I hope that doesn't stick because he sounds way to grown up doing that...but still so cute!
