Last night Elise ate at about 8:15pm. By 10 or so she was tired, and we put her down to sleep. At 11:30, when I was finally getting to bed, she was still sleeping. I thought she had just started her 6-hour stretch for the night early, so I expected her to wake up at about 4am. Then, when I woke up at 5:45am (about the time Elise typically wakes up to be fed and changed), she was still sleeping! Remember, the last time she had eaten was about 8:15pm, so we're talking about a 9 1/2 hour stretch! She's never gone that long without eating before. I changed my shirt (I probably don't need to tell you why) and woke her up to eat. She didn't even act franticly hungry the way she sometimes does for her first feeding of the day. Here it is now, after 9:30am, and Elise hasn't woken up yet this morning. She's been sleeping since around 6am. That girl really is her father's daughter (when he was a baby, he would regularly sleep 12-hour stretches at night). I guess she was doomed to be a sleepy head with parents like us.
