Noisy sleeper

Not much new to report -- lots of sleeping, eating and diaper changes. After two rough nights (taking hours to get Kate back to sleep) we had a really good one again last night. She really is a good sleeper when nothing is bothering her.

Now we're having a lovely morning. Kate has been asleep for two hours. The next-door neighbor invited Molly over to play outside for a little while. Jim and I are cooking lunch and catching up on chores. When Kate sleeps, life around here is really, really good.

Speaking of sleep, one of the funny things about Kate is that she's a noisy sleeper. She grunts and snorts and makes all sort of weird noises as she's falling asleep. It makes it pretty hard for us to sleep in the room with her. For a while I would pick her up right away when she was making noise, thinking I was heading off a crying spell. But I think she's actually happier just snorting away until she falls into a deeper sleep. Last night Jim had the brilliant idea of putting a fan in our bedroom for white noise. I think that had a lot to do with us all sleeping better -- it helped us sleep through all Kate's weird noises.

Freddy is a noisy sleeper and has been since the first night. He snorts and snuffles and now he snores, loudly. Just like his daddy. It cracks me up!! :)
