Bed time routines rock

She was pretty tired this evening to get her to smile




haha, so she's still a little small for this. Notice her feet don't even touch the ground and she has no idea what to do while she's sitting in it.

On a great note- we have established an excellent bedtime routine. She eats roughly 4 ounces w/rice before bed. She goes to bed between 8-9... I wrap her tight (so she doesn't get cold- that will wake her up crying) .. so I bundle her tight, lay her on her side (her preferred sleeping position) turn the white noise on... give her a kiss and leave the room... dark.. we never hear her cry and when we check back she's sound asleep... and she will usually sleep until around 3 am until she wakes up and wants to eat again... not bad not bad for 3 months. :) Then goes right back to sleep for about another 4 hours or until I wake her up because I have to get to work, but even after that she will fall back asleep at Heather's house sometimes until 8:30..

Good for you for getting her into a routine. That's definitely the best for the little babes. It's also great that you lay her down while she's still awake. So many people think they have to get their kids to sleep before they put them in their cribs. Seems like a recipe for disaster if you ask me.
