Abby is finally putting herself to sleep at night. We tried the let her cry thing & that never panned out. So after our last Dr. appt., we started our new nightly routine. We have a bath between 6 & 7, turn most of the big lights of (lamps are cool) and then we have a bottle to top us off, then I rock her for maybe a minute or two then before she goes to sleep I lay her in her crib. Our Dr. told us that the first night she may cry for an hour & make herself sick...well that was over 2 weeks ago, and she didn't cry but for 15 minutes. Now she doesn't even make a peep. We started putting her to bed at 8pm, but she has changed that to around 7:30pm. It has been really nice knowing what time "mommy & daddy time" can start & I have gotten alot more done. And alot more time for me. She is sleeping until aroun 7:30 every morning to. I cannot express how much this has helped me. I am not "zombie mommy" from her waking in the middle of the night anymore, and I think my waistline appreciates that too!
And we have gone from our 3 naps to 2, one for about an hour around 9am then around 2 or 3 we go down for about 2 hours. It is really nice. She is growing so fast! Abs is also getting her top 4 teeth all together, right now :-) She has had her bottom 2 for a few months. I cannot wait to see her smile with more teefies. I got bit for the first time on Sunday, and YOWWWW! It hurt!!
Anyways, we are enjoying all the milestones & think we may have a walker by the end of the month or Feb. She knows what to do, but just doesn't want to (haha! Like her momma I guess!)
Tootles for now!
