Rise and Shine!

I just have to share with everyone what a great "waker" Shae is these days. Whether he's waking up at 6 a.m. on a Saturday morning or waking up from his third nap of the day, he does so in such a delightful manner.

"Ooou?" His quiet babbling soon turns to shrieks of delight. I can't get in there fast enough at this point, as I know that the biggest smiles and silliest faces will be there to greet me.
