Thin at the back, long on top, and fluffy all over. Now that the air is winter-dry in our house, everyone's hair is electric and we have to be careful not to give Audrey a shock when kiss her. It makes her really mad. At the risk of jinxing a good thing, I want to report that Audrey had her most excellent night of sleep so far last night: six hours, a quick meal, then back to sleep for three more hours! And of course, instead of sleeping peacefully through it, Scott and I were lying there thinking, "Oh, no- is she all right? Did she leave? What's going on?" We know better now than to expect a repeat tonight, but, you know, a couple steps in the right direction... I'm sure we are just days away from Audrey bringing us breakfast in bed. (Actually, I can't wait to be served breakfast in bed by Audrey, perhaps on Mother's Day one of these years. A messy tray of sloshed orange juice and toast crumbs everywhere, and a card signed in crayon. Scott will help her carry it up the stairs. It'll be fantastic.)

Congratulations on reaching the first plateau of infant sleep! It may be temporary for now but more will follow. And so will the Mother's Day dream.
This report was so much better than seeing a 3 AM post to the Chickpeacentral. It is beyond me how you can have such a good sense of humor at that wee hour.
Looking forward to your arrival. Maybe we can find a 10 gallon hat and a pair of boots for Audrey. We'll add spurs for Audry to defend herself from the electric kisses.
Hi Kris & Audie K! How was the follow-up night? I think Audrey's reaching a full night's sleep should be celebrated with a trip to Disneyland & Aunt Ellen's in LA. Welcome anytime....
