This is my niece Jovi. Isn't she cute?!? We are all so excited to have her playing with us today. We love babies at our house. And a girl baby? Well that's just a little too new and exciting!I remember when I first started babysitting about 2 decades ago....sheesh I am old! I would stand over the baby's crib and wish for him/her to wake up. There were times, too many in fact, that I would actually pick them up from their crib while they were still sleeping just so they would wake up! Besides, what fun is babysitting if the baby is always sleeping? As it turns out a sleeping baby is a lot more fun than an extremely tired and screaming baby!
I've since learned my lesson. NEVER WAKE A SLEEPING BABY!!! Sometimes you must...and even then it seems so wrong. There is something so peaceful and beautiful about a sleeping baby.
So even though we are all dying for her to wake up (well, maybe not Ryker...he is such a jealous little guy :D....and mostly Jaxon, he has a major crush on her!!) we will let her sleep just a tiny bit longer...and I will clean the bathroom or finish the laundry.
Nah! Who am I kidding? I'm going to go watch Miss Jovi sleep for a few more minutes and then I might pick her up. Shhhh! Don't tell her mom and dad :D

You are funny. I remember feeling that same way too, but now - not so much. Having my babies sleep gives me a chance to realize how much I love them, cuz when they are awake - it's debatable ;).
i know, i try never to wake a sleeping baby, but sometimes it is just too hard to resist!
Such a different name, but I love it! I have honestly never woke up a sleeping baby...then they are grumpy! Love the menu idea Nat!
