Sleep Update

The rice cereal had no effect on Vivian's sleep. We tried it for one week and it was the same routine- up every two hours. Oh well, at least we can say we gave it a try. As for me, the effect of her not sleeping consecutive hours is exhaustion and emotional. I think Derrick forgets sometimes that I am up 4 or 5 times a night for 30-45 minutes at a time because he will frequently ask why I'm so grumpy. :) Silly boy, I'M TIRED! So just like I did with her nap schedule, I will just accept it for now. This mind set seemed to work for her naps because she has gone from 30 minute naps every hour to 1 hour naps every 2 hours. I just need to relax and understand it is not the end of the world and I am not a bad mommy because my baby doesn't sleep through the night. We will continue trying a method that works until we succeed. Wish us luck!

By the way, she surprised me the other day by putting herself to sleep on the floor! It was too cute watching her do it. Thumb in mouth and blanket in hand against her face. ♥
