Sound asleep after a hard day.  Katie has started sleeping through the nights usually from around 6PM - 4AM.   If she wakes, we are usually able to just use the pacifier and the sea horse to put her to sleep.  The sea horse glows soft yellow and plays light music and bubbles for about five minutes.  She has another glow worm in her crib - which she will be moving to next week.

Lately, we have had a hard time getting Katie to smile on camera.  She smiles but the digital cameras have such a long delay that she knows when the flash is coming and will close her eyes or make a funny face when the actual picture is taken.  Without the flash she has a beautiful smile but the picture is too dark.  With the flash she just looks like a drunk baby.  Look and see what I mean.  No flash and I get a great shot that's too dark....

Flash and I get a drunk baby....
