Whoooo's Sleepy?


Well, you'd never guess from the picture that Amelia is sleepy. She's so wide eyed all the time, but she was asleep very shortly after the picture. Speaking of sleep....I don't want to jinx us....but she has been sleeping wonderfully. We have a very consistent bedtime routine which begins at about 8:30pm. All the lights are dimmed and we make it nice and quiet and she gets her last feeding. After she's done eating, Chad swaddles her in the "miracle blanket" and takes her to her room and puts her right into bed. She has a stuffed bear in her crib that makes a heart beat sound and we also play lullabies on her ipod. She is usually awake when she goes into bed and puts herself to sleep. In probably 6 weeks we've only had 2 nights where she cried...which is amazing to us. She will sleep for approx 8-9 hours and then need to eat and then go back to sleep for another few hours. I'm so glad I have a baby that likes to sleep in like her mommy does:)
