Early Morning with Emily

Emily needs less sleep than Michael, and it has been that way for awhile now. She is up before him each morning, but I am not complaining; she sleeps till 7:30 and he gets up about 8. She really enjoys it when I put her in his crib while he is still sleeping:

She can walk all around, play with his toys, and he sleeps on. In case you are wondering, that is a cloth diaper in his mouth. He sleeps with about 5 of them, one to chew, one to snuggle and extras for when the one he is chewing becomes too wet. At this point, even though I bleach them, they all have that telltale yellow trim that just won't come clean. Oh well, they'll still make good dust rags one day.

Yesterday morning, Emily came with me into the office to check email and the news, while Michael slept on. Here she is enjoying her first cup of coffee......
Since it was just the two of us, I took the opportunity to take some video of her. It came out a little dark, but I love how her face lights up when she sees the picture of Sophie and Noah on my screensaver. She calls Sophie "shu shu", so funny.

He sleeps until she decides to wake him up, usually by patting him on the face or foot, it is really quite cute to see.
