bobbing pig tails

Sadie had her first pigtails yesterday - so cute!! And her hair is so long, they looked more like antennas.
I don't know if it was the new hairdo, the hot weather, or just a laps from a crazy weekend - but she decided she didn't need to nap at all...yikes. That makes for a very long, tiring day. I tried putting her down a few times - on the first attempt I rocked her, then laid her down on her stomach and left the room. She fussed for maybe 10 seconds and then got quiet. I thought she was peacefully drifting off to sleep...I went to check on her 15 minutes later and this is what I found...

What a sweet baby. That was pretty cute. I love her pig tails. Funny stuff. I'm so glad you took a video of it.

jealous about the pigtails! A day without a nap... urg! that is not good! I am so sorry. addison went through a couple of weeks when she turned a year when she wouldn't nap and i thought i was going to die. She is back to TWO TWO hours naps! it is sweet! keep your fingers crossed!

Jeff said...

oh i forgot - jeff wants to know if it's really noisy with all the jets.

D & J - Very noisy! They fly right over us. There's one in the video you can hear. It was hard when we first moved here because Sadie was used to napping in a quiet neighborhood. She would wake up all the time - now she sleeps through the jets & the traffic outside our window (we live on a super busy road).

Oh Bob this is classic! So cute! How were you not just dying of laughter? I love how at the end you finally give in and lay her down. Too cute, thanks for posting!

So funny! I tried putting Isobels hair in a whale spout a few weeks ago and it was very disappointing. We have a ways to go before she will sport an official girly hairdo.
(I love the background plane sounds.)

oh my heck, this is the funniest thing I've ever seen! I think you should send it to America's Funniest Home Videos. You would totally win.
