someone is going through a growth spurt...

So, Miss Molly and I did some shopping yesterday with football widow Jenn and Robert. Towards the end of the day Molly started rubbing her eyes and looking a little tired. I thought a ride in her car seat might do the trick and I was right. We went over to Jenn's place to pick up Lola (we had Odin, Bree and Jon just got back from New Zealand yesterday) and Molly bug konked out around 5:30. She stayed down after the transfer from the car to her bed and I thought she might actually sleep for a little bit. Then 6:30 comes and goes. Then 7:30. Around 8:30 we're thinking she's down for the night. She has been sleeping 10 and a half to 11 hours on a pretty consistent basis. I do the math. 4:00 am is looking like her wake up time. Yikes! Still, the house is quiet so I get some stuff done and finally crawl into bed a little after 11:00 pm knowing I will most likely be up in 5 hours.

Next thing I know it's just after 7:00 am and I bolt upright in bed. Ok, maybe not upright, but my eyes opened and I turned my head to check the clock on the bedside table in a very efficient manner considering I was asleep mere seconds ago. Molly was still asleep! She starts making some noise at 7:17 am. I couldn't believe it. Almost 14 full hours of sleep!

Like I said, someone is *definitely* going through a growth spurt!
