...this is what she looks like between the hours of midnight and 3 am. Cute in photos, sure. But to the sleep deprived parent the only reason you're really excited about a sight like this is that the open mouth proves a heck of a pacifier target amidst the hysteria. When she's not in full wail her Bruce Lee like reflexes form an impenetrable mollification steel curtain. If you are lucky enough to pierce the defenses it's only a matter of time before the sound of her crying is preceded by the pbpb sound of her spitting it out. Those precious few seconds really only prove to disorient you further as your body tells your defenseless mind that it's OK to fall back to sleep. Then you find that you've been repeating the process for 2 hours with out being aware of it. Fun, stuff.
It does make for cute photos though.
I've posted some pics of Amelie's first Christmas and other holiday adventures so check out the Shutterfly link when you have a chance.
