Wishing and Dreaming

Oh how our Megan wishes she could figure out crawling. She has developed her own little way to scoot toward desired objects, it's pretty funny to watch. She is good at digging her toes into the carpet and trying with all her might. We are having fun watching her figure things out. And we are enjoying our last few days of having a fairly immobile child. Soon she will be everywhere!

We are also enjoying Megan's new accomplishment of SLEEPING ALL NIGHT!!!! Woo hoo! After our trip, Megan was a little messed up on her sleep schedule. Before we moved she would consistently sleep from 8 pm to 4 am, nurse, and sleep til 7. Then all of a sudden after the trip, she was waking up and nursing at midnight AND and 4. Well, my patience with this lasted about 2 nights before I said HEY! No way, you don't need to eat, you just need to go back to sleep.

So at midnight the next night, I picked her up and hugged her and put her back in bed. It took about 40 minutes of whining, but she fell back asleep and SLEPT TIL 6!!! And the next night, she woke up at 2 am, whined for 10 minutes and again slept til 6. Since then, she consistently has been sleeping from 8 pm to 6 am--and occasionally even til 7 or 8. The best part is, she'll still go back to sleep after nursing at 6 am- usually til 8. It's bliss. And I'm sure my body will eventually learn to sleep all night again too...but for now, at least I can just look at the clock and roll back over! It's been so great, I wish solid nights of sleep for all of you--sweet dreams!

Here is Megan scooting video #1


And Megan scooting #2



This is really NOT a good picture of our girl--I was trying to take a picture in these cute overalls but instead caught a snot bubble.


But this one is sweet :)
