rousing success
Last night was Nora’s first night sleeping alone in her own room and it was an unqualified success. Jen and I were both a little freaked out by the silence in our room but Nora slept as well as ever. I figured we’d be awakened this morning by the frantic cries of a lonely baby but, quite the contrary, we were met by a chorus of happy cooing and hooting sounds. This kid is LOUD. Someone needs to have a talk with her parents.
(note: the discarded pooh hat marks the approximate location and orientation of Nora when she’d gone back to sleep a few hours before. )
(p.s. she was so happy this morning that she was just too quick for our camera to capture clearly. This shot was taken with sunlight streaming in, both overhead lights on, and the flash. This was also like my tenth try and she’s smiling and waving her arms (and feet) in every single shot. Eventually we had to stop trying to take the stupid picture and play with her.)

Hooray for all of you! Maggie wakes up happy like that, too - it’s wonderful! She plays and “reads” until someone comes in to get her - or Jonah runs in to keep her company. Enjoy!
