Sleep baby, sleep

Woah! What was that? A sleep straight through from 10:00 till 3:50! That's more like the old Paige we knew and loved! I know what it is too, I think. It's her blasted humidifier which is probably going to peel our paint and wallpaper border! She was all warm and cozy. She was probably cold the night before since we were approaching St. Albert weather here.

The problem, however, was that I fed her less than usual (3.5 oz), which was enough to satisfy her, but not make her sleepy. She just stared at me afterwards as I rocked her in the chair. I sat with her for maybe 20 minutes and then decided to put her in her crib. Well, she lay flat on her back for about 45 minutes just making cooing noises and staring at the ceiling, occasionally spitting out her soother and searching for it with her mouth. Strange, but once she fell asleep she was good till 7:50 when Mike fed her another 3.5 oz. She is still sleeping now (9:45), so the plan is to feed her a 6oz bottle at 12:00, but we'll see what happens when she wakes up. Sometimes she can sleep so long in the morning that I have to wake her up in order to go walking with the neighbours.

goodmorning: Wonderful to hear you had a good night. You will figure it out, just about the time Paige is ready for another change of schedule. At least that is the way it seems with little ones. have a great day.

Grandma 2 agrees - they always seem to change just when you think you have it all figured out. Hang in there - the good nights sleep make it all worthwhile. Have a great walk - it's a nice day for it.
