...if I happen to be asleep when she wakes up she just lays quietly looking at me waiting for me to wake up she has never cryed upon waking in the morning, she just waits and chats to herself after a while.
How cute! My DD does this too. Its my absolute favourite thing - to open your eyes and see a gorgeous bubba just looking at you intently (usually sucking on her blanket!)

I only wake up DD if she sleeps longer than 8:30am. She normally wakes up at 7-7:30, but I find if I leave her to 'sleep in' the day goes a bit hay wire, and she won't have her day sleeps.
