SLEEPING BEAUTY...

...Well I have to say one thing is for sure...ever since Miss Olivia hit the 3-month mark it seems we have a WONDERFUL little sleeper on our hands!!! Up until recently Olivia had been going to bed around 7pm...waking once in the night to eat (usually around 2am)...waking for the day around 6:30 am...Plus two 2-3 hr naps in the day!!! How luck are we?!?!? Well...If I could sleep (instead of still waking every 2 hours to check on her) that would be GREAT!!! Anyway... our little girl is still a great sleeper, however the last 2 weeks she has changed her sleeping schedule...Now she goes to bed between 6-7 pm (we are trying to get her consistently closer to 7) and she generally doesn't wake until morning between 5-6 am. WOW. Even waking that early she basically lays in her crib and 'plays and talks' until either mommy or daddy come to get her!!! What a GOOD girl! The only downfall of this long night sleep is her two (sometimes three) naps in the day have been reduced to an average of 45 ish minutes (less time for mommy to get her daily stuff done)...Anyway, like I said we are very proud of our wee girl!!!!

Last night around 4pm after a hard play with daddy, brad said she was getting a bit cranky and he would try and put her down for a short nap. Great I thought!...Went downstairs and put a load of laundry in came up 15 minutes later to check on the progress...


...to find sleeping beauty and her side kick....indeed taking a short nap!!! How cute! I couldn't resist the photo!!!
