Sleepy babies

I love seeing my kids sleeping. There is just something so peaceful about it. There is innocents in the way they sleep and security. Both my kids are such light sleepers, they wake up to a pin dropping. The term "sleeps like a baby" doesn't apply to my kids because they don't even sleep like babies. Since day 1 both of them have been woken up by the slightest sounds.

With Grace we used to sneak out of her room after we FINALLY got her to sleep because if she woke up we would have to start all over again. Her floor would creak and would have to step on it just right so she wouldn't hear you. If you made floor crack, she would pop right up and look at you! It's funny because thunder doesn't wake her up no matter how loud it is, but if you stepped on her floor wrong and made it creak she would wake right up!

Luke hates hearing Grace cry. The minute she makes a sound, he's fussing and awake. We have to run in his room to get him to go back to sleep or else our morning starts right then. Grace likes to jump and kick in her crib. She makes all kinds of noises in the early morning, she's just crazy. Luke HATES those noises. We have sound machines in both of their rooms because of it, but sometimes even that's not enough.

Kris is very loud, he just doesn't know how to be quiet. He bangs things, coughs a lot, clears his throat... even walking is loud for him. The kids just don't like it. He used to wake Grace up all the time when she was younger. When we are in our bedroom at night we have to whisper so we don't wake them up. It's annoying,, but their rooms are just across the hall. It's funny how kids have their own quirks from the time they are born.

My next house is going to have our room away from theirs and theirs across from each other and not next to each other.

Here's Grace and all her car seat sleepiness! She was 4 months old in this one.... 

And 7 months old in these:

And again at 7 months old in mommy & daddy's bed:

My cuddly boy on mommy

He looked like a little angel

Last week. He fell asleep with Kris burping him. It was too cute.

I love sleepy babies! They are just so adorable!
