Sleeping Beauty

I love watching Samantha sleep. Those cheeks are amazing, and look at how cute her lips are!

If you look closely, you can see where Sami scratched herself right between her eyes. I am so bad about remembering to cut her nails. This day, I felt so bad that I cut her nails and I went to Wal-mart and bought her mittens. She wore them all that day, and I try to put them on before she goes to sleep because most of the scratching happens when she is tired. But I don't have her wear them all the time because I love it when she holds my hand, and I like feeling her wrinkly little palm.


Samantha used to be a sweaty sleeper. Actually, it was just her head that sweated. When I pulled her out of her crib, the sheets would be wet. And by the time I was done feeding her, my sleeve where she rested her head would be soaked through. I used to have to change my shirt after a feeding. We called her our "little sweatball." She doesn't sweat anymore though. It's amazing how they change and grow.

Ahh - I remember the "sweaty" days well . . . I used to have to put a burp cloth under Dallin's head while I fed him - or same as you, a VERY wet sleeve!

I just LOVE her sleeping face though - I don't think I will ever lose my love of seeing sleeping children!
