Our Snugglebug

We used to let Ava sleep in our bed when she was smaller, especially when I was still nursing. We have learned that she is no longer a good bedmate. She's sure sweet but not still. Waking me up at 12:30 last night with her cry, I went in to check on her and held her for a little while. I didn't want to give her a bottle so I figured I would just bring her back to bed and let her sleep with us for a bit. She tossed around a little but soon was fast asleep. The only trouble was, I couldn't sleep with her arms wrapped tight around my neck. When I tried to scoot her away from me she turned right over and wrapped her arms around Daddy's neck, resting her head on his pillow. It is the sweetest thing and I hope she's always a cuddler like this but it doesn't make for very restful sleep for her bedmates. Two weeks ago was the last time she slept with us and Jeff had no idea she was in our bed until he woke up at 2:00 am to her arms, once again, tight around his neck. He said he can't imagine a better way to wake up, even if it is the middle of the night.
