11:15am

9am came quick this morning with Little Miss. About 8:45am I checked my phone think it was 7:30ish and to my surprise it wasn't and even more surprising Ruby was still asleep!!!
Or at least I thought...I failed to turn on her moniter last night....she could have been screaming her little head off downstairs!!!
She wasn't of course, and if she had been I would have woken up...needless to say I don't need the moniter, noise travels fast in this house!
I got up did my little morning routine...peeing without a child screaming! Those without kids don't understand how amazing it is to pee in peace!!! Proceeded downstairs grabbed a glass of water and prepared Little Miss's bottle! Usually when she hears the microwave going is when she starts screaming the "I know someones up, now come get me out of here!!!" cry, but she sleep through it!
So I wandered into the living room shacking an 8 ounce bottle still yawning and wanting to crawl back into bed when I decided to grab the camera and capture the peacefulness of Ruby!

To parents this is the greatest sight, a sleeping baby! Oh course not even a second after the flash went off she was up!
Tommy and I sometimes tend to forget how lucky we are when it comes to Ruby. Most parents would sneak into our house at 2:37am and swap out babies just to have ours!
The time now is 1:25pm and Ruby went down for a nap at 11:15am ten minutes before dad got home for lunch!!!
This Little girl yet again proves to be her fathers daughter with her sleeping habits!
Our nightly routine since about 8 1/2 months old is bathtime around 7pm (if needed) and last feeding at 7:30-7:45 and then bed at 8pm!!! This leaves mommy and daddy time without a destructive whinning "I want Mommy" darling crawling around and getting stuck in this corner or that corner!!! Then from 8pm she will sleep till about 7:30am-9:30am!!! Thats about a whopping 12 hours of sleep! Every now and then we have a pacifier emergency or a "Someone rip these teeth out of my Mouth" emergency, but most of the time its peaceful sleep!
Now I have know mothers with children at this age that still wont sleep more than 4 1/2 hours at a time!!! So this is one thing we are blessed with...a baby who sleeps like her father!!!

One more picture for the day!!! Ruby was attacked by the Tickle Monster last night, we have a video of it but for some reason I can get it to upload but I am working on it!!!
