One of my favorite things about my very well behaved, sweet little baby girl is the fact that she is a good sleeper and so easy to put to bed. We have always been big believers in the routine...music, stories, blankie, bed. With Julia, putting her down is such a pleasure because when I put her down she makes me melt with the following actions. I put her into her crib, on her back. She looks up at me. As I put the blanket over her - and it is always some little super-cute, hand-knit colorful blanket - both of her chubby little legs immediately stretch up, WAY up into the air, and her hand grabs the top part of the blanket as she pulls it toward her face. At the same time, while still holding onto the blanket, which is really close to her face at this point, her mouth opens, she inserts thumb into mouth, and sticks her other four fingers straight up into the air. I need to get it on dvd because it's not going to last forever and it's just a very sweet, tender, innocent baby moment.
