the switch to the crib!

Well last night was officially Kiley's first full night sleeping in her crib!  We had said from the beginning that she would only sleep in our room 6-8 weeks top.  Well of course once we tried switching her, she was having a hard time falling asleep, so we just took the easy way out and put her back in our room.  Mainly for the convenience, if she woke up in the night, I could get up reach over and get her out of her bed.   It seemed like everyday we were saying. "tomorrow night we will start"  Which of course tomorrow night never happened.  She did take naps in her crib most days and did just fine with nap time, but night time..not so much.
side note: (She had been sleeping in the best product ever (in my opinion!)  this was her bed   Seriously, such an amazing product.  She slept so snugly and cozy in there and it was angled so she wasn't flat on her back.  That is why I think she was such a good sleeper for the beginning.  Plus it was easy to fold up and take with us for traveling! I would recommend this to any new mom! )

I don't know what made us decide to try it out last night, but I am glad we did!  For about the past month to month and a half she has been waking up in the middle of the night (which she was sleeping through the night)  I guess I finally thought, well if she is waking up in the night in her little bed, whats the difference of her sleeping in her crib and waking up.   So we did it...usually at night when we tried to lay her in her crib she would fuss and cry...not last night.  She has a little light/music thing that shows a picture on her ceiling and plays music, she was content watching that and put herself to sleep.  Well that was at about 9ish, I kept waiting for her to wake up and cry and it didn't happen!! Around 3:30ish she woke up (which has been normal)  So i got up with her, changed her diaper, she ate and went back to sleep!  She stayed asleep again in the crib until about 8:30!!  Needless to say I was SOOO proud of her! :)



and here she is sleeping soundly in her cozy sleep sack in her crib!
