walking

Leah walked over 11 steps today....she was WALKING. crazy.

updates

Well, the sleeping has been OK. She will have good nights and bad....She's been falling asleep quickly but getting her to fall back asleep come midnight is not as easy....Some nights she sleeps longer and others not so much. And we are too weak to make her so we just snuggle with her. It's so hard when we go to change her and then she wraps her little arms around your neck so tight and doesn't let go because she just wants to be with you!!! Heart breaker.

Lately we have been having fun at home playing on the new slide that Lola got Leah....and we have bene playing with blocks and she loves breaking down whatever I build. I got her a little drum and we've been playing with it as well...

She said "cat" today. She doesn't repeat words she says but what we've heard thus far has been- mama, dada, nana, di-di (diamond), hi, bye, sauce, cran (crayon), and cat.

It's time to read and put her in her crib. Cross your fingers all goes well.

success????

She fell asleep within 5 minutes....

and last night she slept the whole night through.

cross your fingers it continues.....

sleep training day 3

Well, that first day of sleep training went okay....well, I am not going to lie...it was TERRIBLE. Finally she fell asleep....so we went in there to see her...Well...Julian went first actually, and then he came back and said , "Um...can you please go look at her?" SO I went in and saw that she had passed out STANDING up laying over her crib rail. That about broke our hearts. We tried to lay her down and then she woke up....SO back into her bed she came.

We decided to wait until Friday night to try again...it took an hour and ten minutes and Julian and I were miserable (so was my sister).

Tonight it only took 45 minutes for her to go to sleep. Of course when I went to her room to make sure she hadn't fallen asleep standing up, she was laying down but she woke up. She fell back quickly, though....

I am going ot sneak up and try to put a blankie on her. Let's cross our fingers she doesn't wake up.
