SHE SLEPT IN HER CRIB!!!!




SHE SLEPT IN HER CRIB!!!! Yes, that's right. For the first time ever, Molly slept in her crib the entire night!!! We are so excited that she finally did it. She has been getting closer, sleeping in her crib for most of her naps during the day and taking some pretty long ones. Last week she took a 1.5 hour nap and a 2.5 hour nap! And after our weekend in New Hampshire co-sleeping and this past weekend she fell asleep in the big bed down at Grandma's house and then slept with us during the night.

Last night we decided to try something different since falling asleep on me and then going into the crib wasn't working. I put her in her swing and let her fall asleep there. After about 30 minutes I transferred her to the crib. She did wake up, and was awake for a few minutes but I knew she was ready for bed and sleepy so left her there with the mobile and wave machine going. After a little while she started to cry a little more so I went back to put in her pacifier which put her out immediately. We had to "re-bink" her 3 times throughout the night, but she went right back to sleep as soon as she had it in again.

So that is our exciting news :). Hopefully we are going to have a little bit more normal schedule this week. We missed Gymboree all last week because we went to visit my dad on Tuesday and then it snowed/iced on Wednesday. So we're back at it today, and then going to see if we can find a cottage to rent for the summer.

Thanks to Aunt Dawn for the pictures of Molly. They came out great!
