Sleepy girl!

Abby's sleep patterns continue to keep us on our toes! They are still pretty unpredictable during the day, but getting a little more standard at night. She is still sleeping at least 7 hours at night, but we are working on figuring out the right bedtime for her. She has started to be overtired at the time we had been putting her to bed (making it harder for her to fall asleep), so we are going to move her bedtime up. We thought that might be a good idea after she slept through her before bed bath time the other night! We thought for sure she would wake up when she hit the water, but I think that made her sleep even better. We washed her and got her to her changing table before she woke up briefly to have her nightly chat session with her daddy and then go back to sleep.

Sidenote: Every night I get her ready for her bath while Joe gets her bath ready. We bath her together (sing some fun songs!) and when we are done Joe takes her in to get her in her PJs, then brings her out to me to feed her. One of the best parts of the night is to listen to Abby and Joe over the monitor (I am working on capturing this on video). They have conversations. It is so sweet! So, you can see why Abby couldn't sleep through that part of her evening routine!



Another fun bath time moment: When we know the bath is lasting a little long and Abby is getting hungry....no tears....just trying to figure out how to get what she wants...no food there!



AND speaking of sleeping through the night...
This is how we found Abby yesterday morning when we went in. It was 7 and she was just talking in her crib waiting for us to come and get her. Can you believe she made it into this position at some point in the middle of the night without making a sound? So funny!

Good Morning Mommy and Daddy!
