Sleepover with LM.

Maelle Mai slept over last night. It was our second sleepover together and it went much better than last time! She's only 4.5 months old and she already has two teeth!! Poor thing! Needless to say, falling asleep was not always the most fun for her - it took about an hour and half of crying, but we did it! And she only woke up once (at 3am) for a feed. We ended up playing for an hour because she didn't want to go back to sleep, but I was fine with that. She then slept from 4:30-8:15 am and woke up cooing and gargling. A happy baby is such a nice thing to wake up to in the morning!
I love when babies are this age! When they giggle and play and are easily entertained. Erik had a lot of fun with Maelle too... I think it was really the first time he has really played with her. He loves babies because they laugh at all his jokes and he gets to make noises and sound effects. I'm not so easily entertained by him.

This is how they spent their morning while I got ready for church. They just hung out and talked. I know I have said it a thousand times, but I am so lucky to have Maelle and Sawyer. They bring me so much joy! I'm pretty lucky that their parents trust me with them too. I have had more sleepovers in the past six months than ever in my life (not counting sleepovers with my dear husband)! 
Maelle hates her carseat, but it did provide a wonderful opportunity for me to snag a picture of her two little teeth. I'm going to miss those baby gums. She sometimes likes to suck on a finger, but now when she chomps down it actually hurts! A lot! Those little gaffers are sharp!!

I'm off to bed though. Gotta work in the morning.
