Well, besides age and weight at birth, the most common question seems to be... How does she sleep? Friends, family, people who work at the grocery store, strangers we meet on walks, everyone wants to know about sleep. So, in case you, like the rest of America, are interested, here is the scoop on the current sleep patterns. Around 7:30 pm, we decide it is Lydia's bedtime. We bath her, feed her, rock her, and either when she is asleep, or seems near sleep, we put her in her crib. She then lays there for awhile, we do a few tricks that work to get her napping in the day, and usually by 8:45 she's out of bed again. She plays until 10 or so, and then after a meal, she's to bed for good. She has been sleeping until 4 or 5ish. Eats, goes right back to sleep, and wakes up at 8. She plays for an hour or so, naps from 9-11, and then usually takes another nap in the afternoon, or a series of short naps. Her bedtime does not seem to get any earlier with more or less napping in the day. It does not help that it stay light until 10:30 or so. Overall, its pretty nice to get that 10pm-5am stretch. The first few times she slept so long, I kept getting up to check on her, almost frantic. But, now I sleep right along with her, so its not a bad deal. So, that's the deal with 2 mths old and sleeping. At least she's going in the right direction from birth. - Polly
IF ONLY! Wow, you are lucky. Abby gets up 2 or 3 times and sleeps about 5 hours in a row at the most. I can't complain as she never makes a fuss . . .just eats and goes back to bed. I just need to make better use of MY time when she is asleep. She loves her crib. Ok, well enough about my baby. After all, this is Lydia's sight. =) I loved the announcement you sent with the websites. . .clearly. Will mark them as a favorite!
