sweet dreamer

zuzu's fever hasn't affected her attitude or behavior much, but it has made her a bit sleepier these past couple of days. when naptime rolls around and it's my job to put her down, i often try to enjoy the perks of such a task by letting her fall asleep on my chest while we sit in the rocker. with her fever, zuzu's level of sweetness has been equally elevated to a higher level - her warmth and soft sighs against me are like smelling chocolate-chip cookies fresh out of the oven... so sweet!

this afternoon, zuzu was so zonked that when i eventually put her in her crib, she slept in the position in which she landed - arms and legs tucked into a big self-hug.

i caught a bit of this sweetness on tape and put in some music from plumb along with it. it seemed to fit so perfectly.

enjoy this, another slice of zuzu.

i should probably clarify that, no, i did not throw her into the crib, as the word "landed" might have implied. though i won't deny having a "rough landing" or two in the past. sometimes trying to put even a sleeping baby into a crib can be like trying to put a wet seal into a bathtub.

whoever just made a reference about the "swimming incident" post (see aug. 5, 2007) - i heard that!
