The Very Young and the Restless


Funny girl fell asleep while she was playing
Caroline is a very funny little sleeper. She can be wide awake and then without warning she will fall asleep. She also "talks" and moves a lot in her sleep.  This is the reason we moved her to her own room quickly.


Pip creepily watching Caroline

     No matter what time she goes to bed at night she will wake up at 4:00 am to eat.  This is the only routine we have established.  We start her nighttime routine about 7:30 pm.  She gets a bath, a book and a bottle.  Sometimes she is asleep at 8:00 pm other times she is wide awake after that bottle and wants to fuss or play depending on her mood.  A few times she has stayed awake till 1:00 am {Like her daddy who is a night owl}. 

 The picture above was taken Sunday Morning where she was up at 6 am wanting to play.  I thought she would go down for a nap around 10 am {because that is what she did the previous day}  I waited in vein till 2 pm when she took a 3 hour nap.  I have read  books and articles on this subject & most of them say your baby should be establishing a routine by now.  I know all babies are different and she might just be doing things a little different but it is exhausting trying to figure her out. Maybe this summer we can work on this. 

18 more school days till summer!

  2. She is so cute Kylie and she's getting so big. It's amazing how much they change. I know what you mean about a schedule, that's going to be a challenge!
    Take care, Rachael
