All played out.

Going to sleep

I'm so excited because Ruby has been going to sleep on her own for her naps during the day.All I have to do is put her in her crib and she plays with her toys for awhile and then she goes off to sleep without fussing at all.It's such a relief because I was having to hold her and rock her to get her to take a nap and then if I tried to lay her down she would wake right up.So,there I was having to sit and hold her all the time and I can tell you it has been hard on my back. Yay,Ruby!

Sleep issues

Ruby will hardly sleep any at all during the day unless I'm holding her. When she does sleep she only sleeps for 30 minutes to an hour at a time.If I put her down she wakes right up! I know I probably have just made her rotten! I'm afraid to let her cry very much because it seems like she has a hard time breathing if she gets upset.Especially lately because her nose has been so congested from colds she keeps getting.She does sleep at night from midnight to 8 a.m. ,which is a MUCH better improvement over when she was 2 and 3 months old and would stay awake all night!

Ruby went to sleep!

Last night my husband and I and our 5 oldest kids were playing Apples to Apples,so I put Ruby in her baby bed to watch her mobile.Well,she just cooed and blew raspberries and was quite happy for a long while.Then she started her grumbling sounds,you know not really crying just griping,I decided to just let her be because she wasn't screaming or upset.By the time we finished our game she was sound asleep!The first time she has gone to sleep at night without me holding her!Also the first time she has slept in her crib and not in her cradle by my bed!
