First nap

Tonight, after Julia sat on the step for throwing a ball onto our table, I took Julia into my arms to cuddle for awhile. She fussed for awhile, then asked to let go of her arms and legs. Then, we sat quietly for awhile, and then she asked if she could sleep. I put a cover on her, she closed her eyes and snuggled down, and went to sleep.

Incredible.

Julia's first nap!

Since we have known her, she has fallen asleep a few times in the car. When we were in Jersey, she did nap in the car one day, which was pretty cool by itself. But she has never relaxed enough to fall asleep outside of a bed at night.

It was short nap -- 10-15 minutes -- but she woke up, really woke up, and stayed right beside me as we watched a movie. It was all very sweet. Is she learning trust?
