a full nights sleep and a dose of smiles…

Id like to take a moment to talk about how amazing grandparents are.  Oh how I love them.  They are so calm and loving, so willing to help clean dishes or hold babys while you nap.  They also have this sweet sweet gift where your baby can cry in their face for as long as they want and the grandparents are not phased.  They may even laugh a little and think its cute.  Its amazing.

Bretts mom so lovingly stayed the night last night and watched penny the whole entire evening while Brett and I got a full 8 hours of sleep!  It was the best gift anyone could have ever given us.  Its so much easier to deal with the fuss when you haven’t dealt with the fuss all night long.  As If the full nights sleep wasn’t enough…this little one decided to deliver some amazing smiles to her mom and dad this morning.  Ive never seen her smile like this.  It was like crack…I could’ve sat there booping her nose and tickling her tummy all day if I got those sweet smiles in return!

Having a baby is totally hard…but having people who love us and are so willing to help in any way is amazing…and having our baby look us straight in the eye and smile wide has seriously filled me with more joy than I thought possible.

Goodness.
