ENERGY!!!

The Animalia is an energetic girl who doesn't take as many naps (breaks for the rest of us) as she used to. She used to take 3-4 naps throughout the day. Lately, we're lucky if she takes 2, one midmorning, one midafternoon. She's wanting bedtime earlier though, to make up for the lack of late afternoon/early evening nap and she sleeps til about 6am. This can be difficult for me as I used to be a nightowl and my baby girl is, like her Da, a morning girl. Her favorite morning activity is crawling around the bed, crawling over me or Da for awhile til she feels the desperate need to pull herself up to the bedroom window and stare outside. She just stands there, looking, while I stay lying down, watching her, sometimes with only one eye open. She'll let herself fall from her spot sometimes, safely though, onto the soft pillows and then I attack her, forcing both eyes open and forcing myself awake before I tickle her and say "Buenos días, Amalia! Good Morning, Girl!" And then sometimes, not always, I scream "Pillow FIGHT!" and she giggles and I cover her with a pillow and she laughs when I pull it away from her. Then, we're officially AWAKE.
