Wednesday, October 14, 2015 - SLEEP!

Two days ago I had really meant to post about Penelope's wonderful night of sleep. On Sunday night, she went to bed at 7pm, woke up at 3am to eat, and then slept right through until 7am. The major change was that I decided to let her have her pacifier all night and (as I suspected) she's finally old enough to be able to either hang onto it through the night, or find it and get it back in her mouth.

Monday night she went down at 7pm and I woke her up to feed her at 10pm when I went to bed, hoping it would help her make it through the night. She still woke up at 4am to eat, but still another great night of sleep.

Last night I put her down at 7pm and she SLEPT ALL NIGHT!!! She woke a little at 6am but then found her pacifier and was ready to go back to sleep. I woke her up though and fed her since I had to get ready for work and she would definitely need to eat before going to the sitter. I did not at all expect this to happen so soon. According to this blog, Micah didn't hit this milestone until he was 16 months old. Please please please let this be a new trend!

Thursday, October 9, 2015 - Perfection

I'll admit that it wasn't a perfect night. I was woken at 11pm, 12am, 1am, 2am, 3am, 5am, and got up for the day at 6am. Wow, that REALLY looks awful when I put it in print! But I am willing to say that it was a wonderful night nonetheless.

At midnight, Micah quietly walked into our room. I was tired, I just lay there. He walked right up to my side of the bed and I put my arm out, he climbed into bed and snuggled up next to me, and we just slept there for an hour with my arm around him. We have never done that, or at least not since he was an infant. I have no idea what he actually came in for. I don't know why I didn't ask him. But it was so nice to just sleep together for that hour (until he started talking in his sleep and I carried him back to his room at 1am).
