Unwakeable

In lieu of representative UFC
violence, here's some puppies.

While Grace often has a tough time falling asleep, once she's out, she is out cold.  I'm talking UFC, Bisping after Dan Henderson's Mortal Kombat Finish Him Punch out cold.  She's been to two parties in her life, and both times slept through the entire thing.

The first time, a couple of weeks ago, Grace continued a longstanding family tradition of passing out at a kegger, dozing through my sister's annual backyard birthday party/salute to binge drinking.  Unimpressed by the yard's Drunk Olympics, Baby Grace barely made it out of the car seat for the three hours we were there, dozing straight through the revelry.

All dressed up for a 4 hour nap.

Last weekend Grace pulled off an even more impressive feat, sleeping through a 100 guest Communion party that included being held by a bunch of newly met aunts, uncles and cousins to the sounds of a blaring DJ.  My daughter's comfortable with people, and likes nothing more than being held, so the former challenge was no threat to her rest.  The latter though, was remarkable.  You try taking a nap to jet engine decibel dance music. 

Most babies wouldn't have stood a chance of sleeping in such an environment, but I have an explanation.  Grace has been trained to handle loud, terrifying noises from the womb, due to my then pregnant wife's high volume completion of Bioshock 2 on the XBOX, not to mention exposure to a steady stream of prenatal Law & Order SVU.  Chalk one up to desensitization!
