Margaret let us sleep until almost 8:00 AM this morning (she normally wakes around 6), which, if you're a parent, is an incredible luxury.
Those days of laying in bed until eleven or even noon are but a distant memory, relegated to the same place we've put late nights out on the town and those 31 inch waist jeans I used to wear.
Such was the late hour of her waking that it had the unintuitive effect of starting our day earlier than it normally would have.
By giving us two extra hours, neither of us needed to go back to sleep, so we were able to get our breakfast (French toast) squared away and get Margaret changed, fed and back to bed for her morning nap by 10:00 AM.
Unheard of.
The rest of the day has been quiet (with the exception of when I stuck my hand in Margaret's poop by accident). With Sarah working on her reports, I took Margaret to the park for a swing after she awoke at 11:00 and was home for Margaret's lunch by 12:30.
SAM and I enjoyed a pizza (home made with pita bread crust) lunch and have since been enjoying an afternoon of such quiet that it's sometimes hard to believe we have a baby.
Hard, but not impossible, however. It's now time to get her up from her nap. That's okay, though... Margaret is most fun after her naps.

So many wonderful pictures from TWO days this past weekend. Such fun! Margaret's hair is growing and filling in. Love all her great expressions that you have so nimbly caught. In each new blog, she shows more of her personality. I'm impressed and awed at what she exhibits for only having been around for six months. May we never minimize the importance of these early experiences! She is taking it ALL in.
I loved her watching the kids at the playground. Wouldn't it be fun to know what she was thinking?
Thank you, John, for all the time and attention you put into this wealth of images, both visual and verbal, that bring you close to us! It's one of the things I look forward to most in the week. XXOO
