Naps: Since we gave daycare the go-ahead, Abigail took 3 naps at daycare yesterday. Her last nap ended at 3:50pm, which made me nervous. But she got the right amount of nap time during the day, so that was a good thing, I think. I did bring her home & she was the LOUDEST baby I've ever heard...EVER! She was yelling at us all evening, but not cranky - just having a good ole time yelling away. I think Susan (the daycare lady) puts it best when she says, in her broken english, "I think your baby makes too much noise!" I agree, Susan.
Routine: Even though she had a later than ideal nap, she was tired at bedtime. She was stinky & due for a bath, so we bathed her using the night-time bath soap, which seemed to send her over the edge from simply winding down & getting tired to cranky pants, I'm gonna throw a fit until you let me go to sleep - and you better hold me & talk to me every second between now & then!!!!!!!!!
Sleep & Night Wakings: While I am a firm believer that sleep training does SUCK, each night things seem to be improving. She did wake up 3 times last night, but I think if I'd fed her when she woke up at 12:40 she would have only woken up twice last night. Instead I let her go back to sleep & she woke up again at 1:35 & refused to go back to sleep until I fed her. She then slept for the rest of the night :)
The positives:
- She's able to put herself back to sleep most of the time, unless she's hungry
- Brandon was able to get her to go back to sleep last night without picking her up, when she'd woken up 45 minutes after we put her down. She does that a lot & we have no idea why.
Numbers:
Total hours of nap time: 4 hours 15 minutes
Total hours of night sleep: 9 hours 15 minutes
Grand total sleep: 13.5 hours - getting better!
