TKO

I'm pretty sure by writing this I will screw up all chances for future occurrences, but here it goes anyway. 2 nights this week Allison has slept for 6 consecutive hours. (Hence the title) Yes, I did wake up after about 4 hours and check to make sure she was still breathing, but then I smiled and enjoyed every minute of sleep! What a great gift!

She is also pretty funny about how hard she fights sleep sometimes. During the night she is pretty great about eating and going back to sleep, but during the day sometimes she cries and complains and then WHAMO she falls asleep. Today she kept crying "wolf." She would go limp and close her eyes, then 2 minutes later she was awake again. This continued for about 2 hours so I finally just laid her in her bassinet. She cried for about 20 seconds, then she passed out. It made me smile. Such a fighter at only 3 weeks old, her dad is so proud. (for those of you that don't know Jason is a big Ultimate Fighter fan and any type of MMA really)

Oh, and she also cried her first real tear today. Just out of one side so far, it was pretty cute, she wasn't even crying that hard, but it slid down her cheek.
Not too sure about the dogs yet, they love her and want to sniff and lick every part of her, especially her face, every time they see her!
