For the last week or so Alex has been sleeping through the night - she goes to sleep sometime between 7-9 and sleeps until 5:30 or so. If she wakes up early - like 5:30-6am she goes back to sleep until 8 after having some milk. This has made my life so much better - I’m not in an exhausted fog all of the time. The first couple of times it happened I jumped out of bed in the morning convinced that something had happened to her - I guess I had gotten used to seeing 2:30am.

She was, however, still having trouble going to bed until a couple of nights ago. She would fuss and cry and want to get back up. But now she seems to be doing better with going to bed after having a bath, drinking milk, and then saying goodnight to the kitty, Daddy, Mommy, and her room. I hope this isn’t just a fluke and that she is finally going to go to bed and stay in bed. Of course, once she gets another tooth or gets a cold or something her sleep schedule will be messed up again. I think that part of the reason she was having so much trouble recently was that she kept practicing her new pulling up and standing skills in bed and then she would get stuck there.
