perfectly peaceful


There is a bit of a ritual around her naps. She'll eat and then she seems to like to be swaddled (but not too tightly) in a fleece blanket that is around her head but not smothering her face. I kid you not, she falls asleep faster this way and rests perfectly peacefully for a couple hours. You know she is out when her eyelids get this purplish color. You can tell that her baby brain nano-neurons are firing hard and fast. I remember a pediatrician telling us once that if we could comprehend how intensely fast a baby's brain was developing, we would feel very intimidated.
