The Big Snooze

Chica took such a loooooong nap this afternoon that I can't even type the official running time or lightning will strike me down. Or a fairy will lose its wings. Or all the unicorns in the universe will disappear forever. Or something like that.

My point: it was a long nap. Her longest ever. And the evidence of this Longest Ever Nap, combined with the resurgence of her tolerance for rocking, added to her newfound ability to be transferred from arms to crib without completely waking and throwing a ginormous fit can only lead me to believe one thing:

MY BELOVED CHICA IS GROWING UP.

Well, I mean she's still all cute and snuggly and sixteen-month-old like. And she's still that child who stopped taking two naps a day shortly after her first birthday. And she still likes to make race car-like laps around her crib for an hour or two when she's totally and completely exhausted at bedtime, but still...she's perhaps evolving in the nap department. And that's super exciting.

Of course, regardless of any napping evolution, I'll continue to be that creepy Mama who snaps pics while she sleeps :)

Happy Thursday, peeps!

(Also known as the day I got the news the transmission on my car has to be rebuilt to the tune of a big 'ole chunk 'o money. Just the news you want one week and five days before closing on a new house. Booo.)
