That would be our daughter – Jekyll and Hyde! Monday she woke up (after sleeping the entire night!!!!) as the happiest baby in the world. She was smiling and laughing at everything. Then something happened Monday evening; not sure what it was, but she progressively got crankier. How did she sleep Monday? Well, how does 9:30, 11:00, 1:00, 3:00, and 6:00 sound to you? Plus, she was up at least an hour each of those time and had a terrible time falling asleep. Then she was a stinker for her Aunt Michelle. She was asleep when I picked her up and she stayed that way until about 9:00 that night (I guess she had some catching up to do!)
Since then she’s kind of settled in the middle for the rest of this week – not sleeping through the night but not screaming through it either. There are a couple of things to be thankful for: 1) she doesn’t rely on the pacifier; sure, she likes it sometimes but she’s never really looking for it, and 2) she does a good job falling asleep on her own; just this morning I put her back to the crib and she was wide awake but she just fell asleep on her own (after some tossing and turning, but no screaming).
I have a video of her watching her mobile go around (and you can really see her fascination with the elephant – she’ll watch the other animals but not as long as the elephant, plus she really seems to look for it.) The hippo is her second favorite animal (probably because it’s gray like the elephant so it tricks her). The giraffe also gets some attention but the lion is the least favorite (maybe because it’s after the elephant in the rotation). Anyway, didn’t feel like hooking the camera up right now so that’ll have to wait.
Anyway, hope you guys are enjoying the blog. It really takes the place of emails for me (as those of you waiting for responses have probably figured out!). Take care and check back soon!
