Slow & Steady

So update on the sleeping situation: bedtime = gold star! Last night (that is the fifth night) she went to sleep without a peep. Matt and I looked at each other with excitement and joy last night. Go us!! Go Lauren!!

Nap time isn't as grand, but better. Yesterday for morning she fell asleep after twenty minutes of crying. Then, because she was in a crazy uncomfortable looking position, Matt went in to move her. Big mistake! She woke to cry for an hour. Then we went to get her 9 month pictures taken and she fell asleep on the way home in the car. Matt tried to transfer her to the crib and that didn't work out and again lead to more crying. Today I was on my own, and with Matt back at work I was nervous. She however went down with only twenty minutes of fussing a Gus for both naps. She slept for thirty-five minutes in the morning and thirty minutes in the afternoon. Progress!

I'm hoping and praying for her to cry less tomorrow and sleep longer. She is so tired each night. She is used to two one to two hour naps a day and she hasn't gotten that since last Friday. I just keep praying for God to send his angels and know that she'll get the hang of it. Slow and steady- but all that matters is that we're now moving in the right direction.

"...I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you." Matthew 17:20
