Lauren Sleeping

Hey girls! Well, as some of you know Lauren was just put in her room/bed about a month ago...Kraig and I just love snuggling with her. :-) She has still been in our bed some becaue she normally wakes up around 10 or 10:30 p.m. and we put her back to sleep and then around 2 a.m. we will bring her into bed with us because we are tired. I went to Barnes and Noble yesterday at lunch and bought some books on sleeping. Lauren didn't have her little crying fit last night where she stands up in her crib and screams and sobs like she is dying! I have not read the books yet but Kraig and I just looked at each other and I said "man those books are awesome!" LOL! She didn't sleep through the night but I was able to lay her in her crib before she fell alseep in my arms (like normal) and she fell asleep on her own. I think before, I was trying to put her in her crib too soon when she was wide awake/barely sleepy instead of waiting until she was almost asleep. She then woke up around 10 p.m. and I was able to just rub her back and she fell asleep again in about 10 minutes without the big crying fit...she never even stood up this time! Then she woke up at 2 a.m. and I watched her on the monitor...it was so cute...she sat up in her bed like she was going to play or something and then just laid back down and went back to sleep. Now she did wake up at 2:30 a.m. and didn't go back to sleep until 3:30 a.m. but hey, I can't expect her to do it all right? I was just so happy that she was able to fall asleep on her own finally and put herself back to sleep in the middle of the night! So it looks like things are on the up and up even before I read all the books on how to do it. :-) I just had to tell you all. Hopefully tonight and tomorrow night will be even better and by Monday night she will be sleeping through the night! I think she just got so used to our room and us being beside her that when she would wake up over the past 2 weeks she was just scared since we were not there. Maybe she is catching on now that her room is an ok place to be at night. We shall see! :-)
