Most mornings when I go in to get Analie in the morning, the first thing I see is her two little feet sticking up in the air over her crib bars, kicking away.  The variation on this theme is when she is crying and awake, because then her feet are straight up in the air and stiff as a board, because earlier this week she discovered how to tense up her muscles and pretend rigor mortis has set in.

She also enjoys practicing this technique when we’re changing her diaper.  Not because she hates getting her diaper changed so much, but more because it’s fun to get all tense, because then I have to tickle the back of her knees to get them to bed so I can actually finagle her diaper onto her little bum.

Anyway, this morning she slept in until 8:00, which was totally surprising.  I wanted to snap a picture of her feet in the air, but it’s really hard because the room is so dark.  I had the camera sitting right outside her room, so when I heard her first holler of I AM AWAKE MOM COME AND GET ME PLEASE!, Joey and I ran in.  He snapped a (slightly fuzzy) picture and I picked up the squirming ball of happiness.

HI! HI! HI! HI!
