James and I finally got around to switching the crib out of our bedroom and into the nursery last weekend.� It's funny, most parents-to-be have the nursery set up long before their babies are born, and it took us over seven weeks after Emmett's birth to get it together.� Anyway, our apartment is finally in its final formation - hooray!� Here are a few pictures, which I'll also post under the "Our Place" tab.� Notice the cool stickers that form a tree on the wall.� My sister, Lauren knew we weren't planning on painting the nursery since our lease is up in September and we'd have to paint it back anyway, so she gave them to us as a Christmas gift.� Thanks, Laur!

I GOT SIX STRAIGHT HOURS OF SLEEP LAST NIGHT!!!

I know - can you believe it?� The little man was asleep from 12:30 a.m. last night until 6:30 a.m. this morning, and needless to say, it was glorious.� I felt like a brand new woman this morning.� Usually Emmett's sleep stints last a total of two to three hours, and before last night, the longest period of time he's been asleep was four hours (and even that was rare).� I'm assuming he looked something like this while he slept ...

Now some of you may be thinking, "Six hours?� That's what I get on a bad night."� But I assure you, when you become a parent, you and I will be on the same page.� For now, I'm going to chalk those six hours of heaven to a fluke so I don't get disappointed tonight when he reverts back to his two to three-hour sleeping pattern.� But hey, I'm totally going to keep my fingers crossed.� I'll keep you posted.

James and I are also thrilled to report an extreme increase in smile fests, and we were lucky enough to catch some of those precious little smirks on video this afternoon.� Check it out (and go ahead, make fun of the high-pitched mommy/daddy voices all you want) ...
