night #1- dropping the final feed

Last night we began working on dropping J's final nighttime feed. She usually woke up around 2:30am, would eat, maybe 3 ounces and then fall back asleep. That one feed wasn't all that awful, and we probably wouldn't have done anything about it for awhile, but a few times a week, J would also decide to wake up at 12, 1, 3, 4 & 5am, just to say hi. Those were pretty awful.

Just by chance, Saturday night, J chose to sleep through the night all on her own (from 8-6am), which just reaffirmed that she was ready to drop this feeding.

She woke up around 2 and Chris soothed her for awhile, that didn't help, so he gave her some water. That semi-worked, but really we just had to let her work it out. We would watch the clock for 5 minutes, go in, pop her binky back in, tell her we loved her, and leave. It took about 2 hours of on and off again crying, but she did fall asleep and stayed that way until 7am.

Let's hope Day 2 goes even better!

Love those Baby Blues! J's been doing a lot of drooling lately, getting ready for some of those teeth to come in!

The Bumbo Seat- Now that she's a "big girl" she spends a lot of time sitting up and watching the world go by.

J's first BBQ over at Aunt Missy & Uncle Marks!
