sunday naps

there's not much that beats a sunday nap in my book. i love them. i crave them. naps always seem better on a sunday for some reason. it was one of the things i was looking forward to when i returned from serving a mission (next to seeing my family, of course).

becoming a mother, i was worried i had just entered another phase of life without sunday naps -- especially since baby girl doesn't usually sleep for long periods of time during the day.

but, happily, baby girl is also a lover of the sunday nap. ever since we started going to church two months ago, she's ready for a long nap when we get home. baby girl will sleep a good two hours or more while mr. pike and i also get in some zzzs. it's a wonderful treat! at least for now, the tradition lives on . . . .

Yes, something about napping on Sundays is better than any other day, though I will admit to being a fan of Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday etc naps as well. I'm glad you get to enjoy them for now. We still enjoy them. Four hours of church wears babies out.

Sleeping with little babies is the best. They're so soft and angelic when they sleep (unfortunately now always the case when they wake up).

I remember looking forward to Sunday naps as a returned missionary, too. I'm glad your little girl keeps good traditions. It's so fun reading your posts of things I can look forward to in the next few months.

That's Great!! She is getting so big! I wish we could hold her at least every other day! :(

P.S. Mark says to tell you all hello!
