the life of baby jude

I haven't been sleeping well lately. Last week was just miserable, actually. I seem to have recovered okay and am sleeping a bit better. Occassionally, though, I wake up at about 4am (isn't is amazing how we babies can wake up at the same time every night!) and want no part of my crib anymore. Although I can tell M&D are none to pleased, they usually wind up bringing me to bed with them. It's all part of my master plan. I cry and cry until I'm picked up. I find that if you strike them at their weakest (i.e. exhausted in the middle of the night) you can pretty much get whatever you want without a fight. I'm a restless sleeper, though, known for tossing and turning and sleeping in all sorts of crazy positions. This is fine in my crib, but there is significantly less room in M&D's bed. That's okay, I just flip and flop until Mommy can't take it anymore. After 30 mintues of teetering on the edge of the bed, her neck bent in some terribly uncomfortable position, she usually just gets up... and the bed is mine!!! Mwahahahahah! I'm an evil genius! Sorry, Mommy, but this mattress is COMFY.. and I know you spent way more on your bed than mine!

I just have one more thing to say, though, speaking of bedtime. Does anyone know any good lullabies? Clearly, my mother doesn't. I'm so tired of snuggling in Mommy's arms while she sings nothing but the chorus of Spandau Ballet's "True."
