Yippeeee......Hoppity hop!!!!

Aghhhhsleeeeppppp.

Alex is officially sleeping from 9pm until about 7am most nights now, it's heaven. She is rolling around like crazy and trying to hold herself into an upright position - she still topples over but she thinks that's hysterically funny. If you read Mike's blog you know that we had a typical crazy weekend, but we don't like the alternative of sitting on our arses all weekend, so we had fun even though that last softball game was freezing - fall is here! We had a great week up to the Christening with Mum and Bryan in town. My cousins Alison and Andy came in town too, their first time in the States so now I'm suffering from homesickness and missing my family. Alex is dressing as a lamb for Halloween so watch the blog for pictures - we're really going trick or treating for me as she's too young for candy - I know, I love chocolate so much, I'll steal candy from my own child!

Sleeping!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well we have two whole nights of complete sleep! - hurrah! Alex up until now has been still waking up for a middle of the night feeding - my friend suggested the Ferber method where you let them cry through it until they fall back to sleep - no way. My master plan was to reduce the amount of milk I give her to 4 oz and also to let her sleep until she woke up on her own, even if it was 2am - well I guess she figured the 4 oz wasn't worth waking up for, as she has slept from 8pm until 7am two nights. Of course I lay awake both of those nights waiting for her to wake up - Duh!. She loves her new diet of mushed peas and green beans so it must be helping her sleep. Ah she's awake again, have to sign off....Mum and Stepdad are here so we have a busy week ahead planning the Christening. ttfn,Heather.x
