Sleep Patterns

Evelyn actually went down at 9 PM last night. Usually she's up with us until 11 or so. She was so happy to fall to sleep that a little time in the rocker was all she needed. I was a little relieved, I needed to pick up. The girl had her stuff spread across the room.

I had the baby monitor on in the kitchen. At about 10:30 I heard her start to fuss. I went into our room and peered into the bassinet where I had left her. Swaddled. She stared up at me. Completely blank. I assumed she didn't want me to pick her up. If she had, she would have told me so. So I left her cuddled. She continued to look right up at me. Blinking was her only movement. I was suddenly taken aback because I realized I was looking down at my eyes. Her little brow and eye shape mirror pictures rendered me at that age. I continued to look at her for about five minutes. Until she went back to sleep.
