This is just a quick comment as Lilian is about to wake from a nap. Last night I was rocking her in the rocking chair and feeding her right before bed. She started playing with the bottle in her mouth and she wouldn't eat it all. This has been common lately and I think, just like her growth spurts, it's just a stage. However, at night it's been frustrating because I would like to put her down with a more full stomach in hopes that she'll sleep longer. Well, last night was just one of those nights and she wouldn't eat but half of her normal amount. Out of pure intolerance on my part, I sighed and put the bottle down on the table and looked at her. She gave me a big smile and I just melted. "Is it possible you're just that smart and that sweet?" I asked her. I thought there would be no way she'd just know that she doesn't need anymore and was ready for bed. Then she did the most unusual and adorable thing. After asking her that question (which I assumed was rhetorical) she looked up at me, smiled with her little lips together, nodded her head and said, "Mmm". It was if she was just letting me know that yes, she did have a clue and to back off and let her show me. Not 20 seconds later, after wiping my tears away, she dozed off in my arms. Silly me...she slept till 3am and then again till 6am. Out of the mouths of babes...
