Sleeping

Well, the rice cereal went down easy, but Laura sure hasn't. We've been reading about how to get your baby to sleep. Laura sleeps from about 7pm to 4am. And ten again to about 7am. Naps (for Laura but not her dad!) are rarer than solar eclipses around our house. Anyway the books say to let her cry when you put her down for a nap. in the morning, she cries for about 30 minutes and then sleeps for almost 2 hours. her afternoon naps are a bit more trying. She's been crying for the last 55 minutes in her crib. The books also say to let her cry for an hour and then get her up and try again when she is scheduled to nap or sleep the next time.

It's now been 58 minutes of crying and she has finally stopped. Hopefully she is sleeping, but I don't dare open her door to find out.

Shhhh! Be wery, wery qwiet.


update: morning naps are better and she only cried 30min this afternoon but then only slept for 30min. we'll get there. in the meantime, we'll relish in her sweet disposition. she is just so yummy!
