Several mornings a week, this is the scene we wake up to. Sometimes it's one foot poking out. Sometimes it's both feet. Occasionally, she even turns her 2-legged pajamas into a nightgown by kicking out all of the snaps and we wake up to Miss Naked Legs. Usually, she kicks out one or two of the snaps before poking her foot out through the hole, but once or twice I've found her little footsie poking out with all the snaps intact!
She's always been somewhat of a clothing Houdini. For this reason, we never got much use out of those little newborn nightgowns with the elastic on the bottom. 9 times out of 10, we'd wake up to find that she'd wriggled the nightgown all the way up under her armpits and was totally naked, save for a diaper, from the chest down. Once, she even took her arm out of the sleeve with the little built-in newborn mittens and poked her arm up through the neck of the nightgown just so she could pop that little thumb in her mouth.
I find it amusing that children begin developing their own little quirky personalities even in utero. When I was pregnant, I was always amazed by the fiestiness of Molly's kicks throughout the day (and night). It seemed like those little feet never took a rest! Now I realize that it was true...her feet really never do take a rest...even while she's sleeping. I'm just glad my uterus is stronger than the snaps on Carter's pajamas ;-)
