We have a thumb sucker!! In some ways I am not happy about this as I know it can cause dental problems, and you can't take it away. We only had to deal with a few bad days when we took away Paige's soother. A thumb sucker now could be a thumb sucker for the next 6 years! On the plus side, she can't lose her thumb. She has woken up from a nap crying a couple of times in the past week. I go in to check on her only to discover that she is asleep again with her thumb in her mouth. The thumb only works when she has already been sleeping. If she is trying to get to sleep she needs her soother. Also new this week.... she started to sleep through the night! On Sunday night she slept from 9-8, On Monday from 8:30-5:30, and last night from 8:30-5:45 (On Tuesday she woke up at 3:45 to eat). On the days she has woken up past 5:30 she is up for the day. A bit rough for me to get up so early for the day, but Rose and I catch up on shows for an hour until she has her first nap. Then I have my shower before Paige gets up. So it actually works quite well. And with this newfound night time routine came a long afternoon nap. She goes to sleep at around 12:30, and has been waking up between 3:30 and 4:00.
She has been such an easy baby (knock on wood...everyone!) Predictable naps, the ability to drift off to sleep without constant rocking or motion, very portable, few freakouts, pleasant and happy. Such a nice 2nd baby to have. I don't take any minute for granted, that's for sure. She loves sitting up with someone holding her, or being held in the standing position. The bouncy chair is falling out of favour lately. She doesn't like lounging around like that anymore. It'll be great when she can sit in the bumbo seat with a couple of toys on the tray.
