So we are sleeping again. THANK GOD. After installing bumpers in the crib (rolling into rails, bumping your head, and getting limbs stuck induces crying...duh), doing some "let her cry", and weaning off a VERY EARLY am feeding that was just out of habit....Waverly is sleeping through the night again. All these things are controversial among parents and would spark lots of conversation at any mom's group...but they worked for us and that's what I care about.
Waverly is happy because she can put herself to sleep and will play in her crib a little. She has a couple mini stuffed animals to hang out with....a bunny, a penguin, and what I thought was a porcupine, but my 2 year old niece corrected me and said, "no, hedgehog"...oh! excuse me! :)
I am also happy because I'm finally functioning again. I can't tell you how much the past month has been a blur from not sleeping...I just tried to get through the days. with coffee. I feel semi-normal again! In summary, sleep will do amazing things for your state of mind.
So enough of that...it's time for a roll of my favorite photos recently, that happen to all be of waverly, opps!
