Sleeping through the night & Sitting up too!


Just wanted to let everyone know how rested everyone is in this house. For three nights in a row, Addison has slept the entire night. In fact, last night she slept for 11 1/2 hours STRAIGHT! We've been letting her cry at night when we put her down initially and it has broken my heart to listen to it. But in the morning, I'm so glad we ignored her protests from the night before. I think it is probably the hardest thing I've had to do as a parent...YET...but she's so much happier now! The dark circles under her eyes are starting to go away too! YEAH!

Here's Addie in her swing. She isn't content to just sit there much anymore so I think it won't be too long before we'll be putting it away. In this pic, she's trying to get a toy out of the basket while the swing is moving.














Addison prefers her tummy. We don't worry about rolling her on her back because she changes positions throughout the night on her own.















One night while I was preparing dinner, Micah gave the rice pilaf box to Addison. Here's how she entertained herself.














One final comment: MICAH PASSED HIS PHYSICAL THERAPY BOARDS!!!!! We just found out on Wednesday and we're both ECSTATIC! No more studying in the evenings...for a while at least!

Isn't sleep so sweet!!! Congrats on the boards! Addie Sue is so gifted...she's quite a little problem solver trying to reach for the toy while swinging.

Micah we (Mel and Jen) knew you would be fine : )

So glad you are done now you can spend all your free time with Beth and Addison! We need to get everyone together and do something fun now that we are all done with boards.

Congrats Micah! I'm sure that's a great feeling! And I'm sure you are both happy to be getting a little more sleep at night! Beth, I sent you an email about next week. Have a great day! Kathy
