And then there was SLEEP!


Brianna turned into a sleep angel this week! From past posts you might remember that Brianna used to only sleep for 5-15 minutes at a time! Sometimes I would get a 45 minute stretch from her, but not often! This last week or two she has been sleeping through the night for about 12 hours! Then she takes a nap from 9-12 in the morning and 2-4!!! I don't know if she's going through a growth spurt or something because she's sleeping more than I think any baby does at 9 months!
The best part is that she's falling asleep happily, and on her own!! She used to scream the moment I set her down, or if she saw me walk out of the room! She would scream for about an hour before falling asleep. She now just watches me leave as she lays there and quietly puts herself to sleep! I feel so blessed! We had such a rough first 7 months or so! I can't believe the transformation this last week! I hope it continues...but I sure do miss her when she's sleeping! Maybe she can nap a little less so we can play a little more!

I can relate. Tyson was the WORST sleeper until about 6 months. Unfortuantley, his sister is following in his footsteps! Glad yours is finally sleeping. It's such a relief.

You deserve this happy little sleep angel! Hope the sleeping spell lasts a LONG time.

We don't stop by here often enough. What a doll your little Brianna is. Wish we could see her (ok, and you guys too) more often.

Hey you two, I haven't written yet to tell you how great it was that Chad and Curtis came to the wedding. I come by your blog from time to time, I figure I better let you know by writing. I was looking through all the pics and enjoying the cute babies. As I scrolled down I came upon a coffin WHOA, that was a bit of a change. Keep in touch.
