Sleeping Beauty

We have so many funny pictures of Miss Cora while she is sleeping that I thought I’d do a little sleepy slideshow for you. And no, the irony of a sleeping pic montage after I've been complaining so much about not getting any sleep myself is not lost on me. However, we press on:

This is just one I particularly enjoy:


Isn’t she just the sweetest sleeper?

My brother was actually the first one to notice this, but she very often makes this face when she sleeps where her mouth doesn’t quite line up. Her lips are just a little offset, can you see? It makes me laugh.


Now this one really cracks me up because it is exactly how I have slept since I was a baby. From infancy until this very day, I always have to have both hands up next to my face. (When I got older and learned about pores and oil and all that, I started putting the sheet between my hands and my face, but they’re still there!) Now this is definitely MY daughter:


This one I just think is funny because it looks like she’s doing “the sprinkler” (for any of you who might be unfamiliar with this silly dance, it basically involves putting your hands in this position and imitating a rotating sprinkler head as it spurts across one direction – ch…ch…ch…ch…ch… - and then sprays all the way back to its original position. I’m now realizing this is quite difficult to explain without being able to demonstrate, and a joke is always far less funny when you have to explain it, isn’t it?). Whatever, this is Cora doing the sprinkler:


She always tends to get good sleep when she naps on any of us, because seriously, could you disturb anything this precious?


Napping with Mommy, of course


Napping with her beautiful Nana

And these, besides being the cutest pictures ever, are even funnier because she despises being on her stomach so much. I guess she loves her daddy more than she hates her tummy.




Hope this fulfills my picture quota for a little while, at least. :o)
