1.8.14

Hadley woke me this morning at 1:30, wanting a midnight snack.  After the snack she wanted to whoop it up with the owls.  I tried to tell her to go back to sleep.  She disagreed.  It was around 4:30 am when I woke up on the floor, next to her crib.  My hand was numb from being in the air, wedged in her crib, patting her belly.  I have no idea when we fell asleep, but I do know the night failed to offer up the kind of rest I was hoping for.  

We have since made up.  Making my lack of rest totally worth it.  This is probably my favorite make up story ever.  Right before her morning nap...

She kissed me!! 

I got her first kiss.  It was drooley and wet.  But it was meant for me.  Three times I said, "Give momma a kiss" and all three times she did!  She even laughed at me when she saw my delight.  The fourth time however, she turned her head away and leaned back for her bed, tired of the game and ready for her nap.  She had obviously accomplished her mission, she could see I had already forgotten her late night shenanigans.    

First baby kisses... yeah, that's one gift of a memory.
