My great internal debate...

is this: Should I let Mary Claire sleep like this at night:
?????????????????????????????????????????????????

She seems to sleep so well on her stomach for naps, but I am paranoid of putting her in her bed in her room across the house on her tummy. What would you do?? I know when she starts rolling over that if I put her to sleep on her back she will most probably roll right over onto her stomach to sleep, but what about now when she is not yet rolling over??? Last night when I got home from work she was asleep in our bed with Brian. So I brought her to her bed and put her down on her back. She immediately started tossing and turning and woke herself up. I put her pacifier back in her mouth and she calmed down. I went to bed only to be woken up an hour later by her tossing and turning and wide awake again. So I gave her three ounces of formula and rocked her. I put her to sleep on her stomach and she went right to sleep, even spitting out her pacifier (an indicator she is really asleep). I went and laid down and immediately got panicked. I went back to her room and rolled her over. She went back to tossing and turning again! She finally calmed down....until 245am. I woke Brian up and told him just go get her and put her in bed with us. She slept snuggled up against me all night....a wonderful feeling! By around 845am she started her tossing and turning bit. So I flipped her over onto her tummy and she slept until 1030am! So what should I do???? I'm torn! I know my brother and I slept on our stomachs so it can't be all that bad, right? I guess I would feel a lot more comfortable about it if she was rolling over, but she's not. Any suggestions?

This was on the way to day care:


Her big, bright eyes:


Wanna fight???:



Who knows?!?!? I tried to zoom this picture in so y'all could really see her face, but it didn't work. We've gotten some good laughs about it, though! Try clicking on the pictue to enlarge it:
