Finally asleep. For a few seconds anyway.
My little girl is like her dad. She's a night person and wakes up cranky. My son sleeps when his head hits the pillow and wakes up at 6 AM with a big smile.
She was a handful as a baby. Never wanted to sleep.
About your baby...do she have a favorite way Dad puts her to sleep? Rocking chair? Dancing? Pat the back? My kids like the dancing and rocking chair. Bad thing about the rocking chair is that I'd fall asleep too. We have a few funny photos of DW and I in various positions of head back, mouth open, drool dribbling while the baby is tucked safely in our arms next morning.
Good memories. Never doing it again.
