Narcolepsy??

So....for those of you who don't know, Kalaya was quite the challenge when it came to sleep in her first year of life. She had to be completely and totally nursed dead asleep and it was next to impossible to transfer her to any where else. So, I either nursed her laying down on our bed totally asleep and sloooooowly rolled away or I held her while she slept. And, for the first few weeks of her life, she would ONLY sleep on me. She also could only be put to sleep by me for her first year. I didn't mind it, but that's how it was.

Around a year, she started sleeping all night and a few months after that, started being able to let Nelson put her to sleep and was able to go to bed or nap without nursing. (most of the time; unless she was sick) Around 2 years old or so, she stopped taking naps, because any length of nap at any time of day would have her up until 11. She usually sleeps a hard, solid 12 hours from about 8 to 8. It's fantastic!

I don't know if it's a growth spurt or what, but we're finding her asleep and she's voluntarily putting herself down for naps. We'll notice she's tired, suggest quiet time and she goes to her room and lays down with her 'friends' (stuffed animals) and passes out.

Then, this week, I've found this:

and this:

(mid jump??? probably not : )

Seriously, this kid is growing or something!!!

I showed Ronnie the two pics you posted and he joked, "maybe she has narcolepsy!" And then you wrote this post! Haha!

Can't help but wonder if there's a connection to the conversation we had about potty training stuff....have a feeling that my Favorite 2nd-Born Great Niece is in some sort of transitional period....and, she'll work it out in time :)
