I have been so tired because of Ava never napping and not sleeping through the night. I was looking up ways to get this girl in line. Me and Pete went to the book store and looked up "crying it out". Before I had her I was so against it. I felt like she would hate us if we didn't get to her as soon as she cried. Enough was enough. We started it last week. Hardest thing ever!! I hated hearing her cry. I may have even shed some of my own tears. That first night she cried for 40 minutes before she went to sleep. She woke up and cried every hour. As the days went on the crying happend less and less. Now she gets her bath at 7. We go in her room with her, read her a book and give her the last bottle for the night. She wakes up between 7:30-8 am. Perfect. To make her sleep longer she has 2 naps a day. No more napping on demand. She sleeps at 11am and 3pm. This makes a happier baby and happier parents. Here are some pictures of the happy baby...
