The one sure-fire (well, pretty much sure-fire) way to get Aubrey to sleep in the evenings is to sit with her in the rocking chair, at just the right angle so her head gently lolls a little bit back and forth, back and forth, until the sleepy time magic starts to take effect. Hence the blog name, since we're rockin' with her pretty much every day.
At least for Daddy, some of my favorite moments have been those times when I'm rocking her and she's not quite ready to go to sleep. She looks up at me and smiles, and I look down at her and smile back, and we'll just hold that gaze and smile at each other for a long time. Her little eyes will twinkle like she has a little secret to tell me, that she can't quite put into words yet. But sometimes she'll let loose with an "oooooh" to try to tell me anyway.
