Waking Up With Smiles

It is no secret that I am NOT a morning person. Never have been and I'm sure I never will be. I love to sleep and am pretty much convinced that I could sleep for days if given the opportunity.
So how incredibly lucky was I when my first born child was sleeping through the night before he was six weeks old. Then as a toddler he would sleep until 9:00am no matter what time he went to bed. A dream come true for this mommy. Sadly enough reality set in with the arrival of our next two children. They too slept well however were up at the usual 6:30-7 am as most children do. I have since learned to adjust (not like it just adjust) and I even manage to spit out a few words myself to answer their bright early morning enthusiastic requests for breakfast. But I have to admit... The sound of that first cry/whine or call for release from his crib, oh so bright and early, causes me to cringe. Luckily I have this to arise to.. Smiles And lots of them.

It makes this not so early bird of a Mom happy to start the day!

OVER and OVER!

Thank you Tav!

I guess I need to get to know you a little better. I wasn't aware that you weren't a morning gal!

That is face to wake up to. Even I would be happy to see it and I hate early morning hours.

Megan, Autumn doesn't speak for the first hour she is up, just gives you a blank stare. Luckily she has little Tav to help her with that. What smiles!!!!

I am totally with you. Salvador, sleeping through at 6 weeks, up at 8:30. Samuel, still not sleeping through but at waking up only once and then up at 6:30 and when I go to get him in my groggy mood, I am greeted with a HUGE smile.
Tav is so adorable. He is a doll!

I'm right there with you on not being an early bird. Luckily kids usually wake up a whole lot happier than they are in the evening! :) Very cute pictures! It was so fun meeting up with you guys. I apologize for the craziness we bring! :)
