Found: Pictures of sleeping beauty.

PS, I checked my email and it looks like I sent myself some of the pics before my phone died. This got me going back through some old albums, which led to finding quite a few sleeping beauty pictures... so here's the show. Sorry the quality on some is not so great, they were probably the ones taken with my old phone.

This is so like Cori. Won't admit she's tired. Don't even mention the word nap. It's only happens at time like this, when she is happily entertaining herself, with a sock on her arm. She sits on the top step, and suddenly is out like a light. I have found her curled up on a rug by the front door. Naked next to her crib. In the closet of a friend's room. Between the couch and the fireplace. Wrapped in a blanket at her aunts house, in a room we never go in, you name it- she's probably fallen asleep there. Her terms, her locations.

Cuddling up with Ali always seems to help.

Or with a baby doll

Sandwiched between Dad and Ali.
---------------------------------

I found a few of her when she was really little, and couldn't resist.
She always has just stopped, dropped, and slept.

Ali again

Ya have to love the fall-asleep-in-the-highchair pictures...
Especially when cuddled up with a towel.

On top of the counter, Mom's recipe book for a pillow, fruit loops in hand.

What? Actually in her bed/crib?
----------------------------------

We were all tired in New York, but she had the luxury of being carried around by Daddy.
He sat her down to put his coat on, and she still stayed asleep, sitting up on a bench.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Naked, by the side of her crib.
------------------------------

The couch is her very favorite place to fall asleep. She get's mad when anyone else is on "her" couch.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's more fun to take a bath with swimming suit on in the summer.
Then it's like swimming. Until you fall asleep.

In the corner of Isaiah and Ali's room, with her Care Bears & co.
-----------------------------------------------------------------

This was at my friend Meleesa's house. I think she was babysitting her,
and she fell asleep in her son, Jaden's closet. It took them quite a while
to find her once she went missing.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here's an older one of her falling asleep on the top stair, after she lined up her toys on the banister rail.

Here's the one on the rug by the front door. I forgot it was also the middle of a construction zone. We were in the process of ripping up carpet and putting in wood. (Don't tell anyone, we're still "in the middle" of that project.)

Here she is between a couch and our fireplace. I kind of woke her up taking pictures, just enough for her to adjust and fall back asleep.
