Sleeping babies! That is one of my top 10 FAVORITE things. There is nothing better, except maybe a freshly bathed sleeping baby. Oh, they are so sweet and peaceful. Just watching my babies sleep makes me feel more peace also. I love to look at their delicate eyelids and their itsy bitsy profile that I sometimes can't help from touching! I absolutely love the funny positions that they somehow find, and it's fantastic when they wake up happy and refreshed.
My little guys are champion sleepers and I am so thankful. I've learned a lot from the book Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child by Marc Weissbluth. Healthy sleep is such a key factor in our over all well being that I am trying to give them a gift of good sleep habits from an early age. So that they can learn and grow at their full potential. It's required some work and I'm sure it won't always be this easy, but I am glad that this is one of our goals.
This is Caleb sleeping during his morning nap. I think he has now officially outgrown the desire to be swaddled while he sleeps. He also started to really like rubbing that silky blue blanket on is face while he goes to sleep. It's adorable.
Then there's Asher. He is a fantastic sleeper, but the last few mornings he has had a little surprise for us when we go in to get him in the morning. His favorite blanky has a REALLY big rip in it now, but it's just made him love it more. Now he finds the huge hole and sticks his whole arm in. The problem is that through the night it gets all twisted around his wrist and is pretty stuck by morning. Pretty hilarious as you can see from the pictures!

How can you not love a sleeping baby? And yours are extra cute.
Do you like Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child a lot? I never could get into Babywise, but that may have had something to do with being sleep deprived at the time! We'll have to try your suggestion the next time we have a baby.
I LOVE that book actually! It has really helped our little family. You know, I am such a sleep person and I have been able to learn how to help all of us get the sleep we need. I really didn't like Babywise either, so I know what you mean.
Cute Kids Abby.
Abby, it seems you've dropped off the face of the planet! But, I think I know what you're doing. We need to get together and talk about it, pronto!!
