This morning, as I’m sitting here, enjoying my new favorite talk show (Bonnie Hunt. I love her. That Chicago accent!! It just reminds me of home.) Abby’s in my lap kind of squirmy but also kind of sleeping. And I start to get mushy because she’s just all kinds of cute.

I love the way she squeaks when she stretches. Did I mention she stretches all the time? Because she does.

And the thing that gets me so much is when she laughs in her sleep. Do all babies do this? She isn’t smiling really that much – just an occasional one here and there that we pretty much have to bribe out of her. But when she sleeps? She’s all smiles and laughs. It melts my heart. And then this morning it dawned on me that someday, she’ll do that when she’s awake…and it’ll be because of something the hubs or I did.

Someone pass the kleenex.

And PS – she slept through the night THREE NIGHTS IN A ROW. Except last night. That didn’t work so well. I’m guessing it’s because her routine was changed, and we weren’t home until nearly 11pm from the in-laws. We’ll try again tonight.
