Updated Sleep Troubles

Well, I thought I would post and say things have gotten a little better in the sleep department. Izzy is still not sleeping through the night consistently but our bedtime routine and naps seem to be improving.

First for naps she is now sleeping in her crib and not in the swing! And when she goes down for a nap she doesn't fuss!!!!

We moved up her bedtime because the more I read, I thought maybe she is just so overtired that is why she is so cranky at bedtime, so she now goes to bed around 6:30 instead of 8 and it seems to make difference. If she fusses it isn't for as long, and two nights ago, she didn't fuss at all. She is still getting up most nights once at night to eat, but according to most of the reading I do , this is not that uncommon and isnt a problem until after about 6 months I guess. I swear the more you read, the more contridictions you seem to get. She wakes up between 6-6:30 unless she eats late like 4:30 am like last night and then she slept till 7:30. I was never much of a morning person, so this early morning stuff is definately an adjustment but I am making the best of it.

Izzy is also done being swaddled, we were finding it was just making her madder and she was sleeping almost as good without it as she did with it...and now I think she sleeps just as good........although I have to say, I wish I would have known about the "miracle blanket" a few months ago. Were were using the swaddle me type things with velcro, but that miracle blanket seems way better!!!

I also started giving Izzy cereal once a day, she doesn't really seem to eat all that much of it, but I guess my goal is just get her used to the idea, so in a month or 2 she will know what to do. I swear, I am glad books like "what to expect the first year" exisit because sometimes I think I would be lost without it.

Other than that not much new. I was a little bored today, so I decided to take Izzy out for a little bit to visit my grandparents, and of course they were thrilled to see her. The weather was too cold today for a walk but should be better tomorrow :)
