The Incredible Sleepless Bean!

Playing!

After bath time

She was supposed to be sleeping, but how can you get mad at that face?

Alia's first time going to church.

She was a very good girl and stayed awake nearly the whole time!

Yeah! Alia now likes hanging out with mommy in the Baby Bjorn!

Well, things have been interesting around here. Alia's nickname has been modified from "jellybean" to "The Incredible Sleepless Bean". Jason and I are pretty sure that she is the only baby in the history of the world that does not require sleep :-) OK, that might be a slight exaggeration, but there is a lot of sleep deprivation going on around here and that's how it feels. We are working hard to get in regular nap times, which is not too difficult thanks to the swing, but Alia doesn't like sleeping at night. She just doesn't want to miss anything interesting.

Alia is almost 12 weeks old now. Time is really flying by. She is changing a little bit every day and doing some ridiculously cute things. A friend from work told me the other day, "It's a good thing they are so cute. It's the only defense they have!" SO TRUE! Alia is figuring out that her hands and feet are attached to her body and that she can control them. She is splashing during bath time and kicking her feet like crazy when she is playing. She has also started doing this really funny thing with her hands where it looks like she's thinking "put up your dukes". It's hilarious.
