I say this very emphatically! What happened to my baby? And I mean this in the most grateful of ways. For quite some time now he goes down for his nap like butter (buttah). So so smooth. 3 hours from last wake up and he yawns. Like clockwork. I take him to his room, get the bear, set him in his crib, play a lullaby and leave. He lies down immediately and snuggles his bear right when he gets in bed and he makes a few noises when I leave for oh maybe 5 seconds and then he's out.

He wakes up so so happy. So yesterday was the whole strange 2 hour nap on the babysitter after his already 1 hour nap. This child ahs not taken a 2 hour nap since I don't when. I am happy when he has his 12 hours at night and 2, 1 hour naps. That's the norm. So today, after 12 hours night sleep and 1 morning nap, he goes down for nap #2. He wakes up and just sits in his crib, to which I usually go in and get him. He's not making any noises that would suggest come get me and he usually doesn't anymore. But, I have the video monitor and because I do and see that he is sitting up, I presume nap is over and it's been just over an hour.

But, today, I say let's wait and watch. I wait and within 5 minutes he is back down and getting cozy with the bear. Then he sits up and gets into another position. 10 minutes later, without any peep, he is asleep. Still asleep now after 30 min.

This stuff just doesn't happen. I read all these moms blogs and such about their children's 3 hour naps twice a day and I am in awe. He did do another big poop, but nothing out of the ordinary. He always poops about 3 times a day. He has been in the best mood. So maybe he is really turning into a sleep lover like his mommy and daddy.

May this never end.

First, of all, there is nothing like my boy and the joy he brings me. There is nothing like his laughs, his smiles and his babble. There is nothing like having two arms reach up for you and there is nothing like a 1 year old hug with slobbery lips. But, all of this coupled with a baby who is sleeping this much, makes for an even happier, if not giddily happy baby and that makes my life even more great than I already felt it was.

Sleep . . . priceless.
