Rejoicing!

We just recently overcame a big thing with Elizabeth. Elizabeth had been doing great at taking a morning nap in her own bed after I rocked her to sleep (which didn't take long). The afternoon however was a different story. I would rock her and lay her down and she would wake back up. We found that putting her in the swing put her too sleep so she would occasionally sleep there for a couple of hours. Then it happened!!! Later last week I was home alone with Elizabeth and I was doing some things around the house. She was playing on her floor mat and would watch me walk back and forth. Then one time I looked down and she was asleep!!! She is still doing this which is awesome! If I see her fall asleep on her mat....I then graciously pick her up and put her in her bed so she gets comfortable with her bed. (she kind of wakes up but goes right back to sleep in her bed) I still am able to rock her to sleep in the morning. (I love cuddle moments with her since Hayden doesn't do much of that anymore)

This picture was her asleep just a couple of weeks ago; looks just like Hayden. Love the way they sleep.
My two precious children!! Still crazy to think I am a mom.
Hayden had just given Elizabeth a kiss in this picture.
Next on our agenda of things to learn is sleeping in her pack n play. She sleeps all night swaddled in her sleeper (like a bassinet; which keeps her upright some) but we need to practice sleeping flat in her pack n play. I wanted to make sure she is sleep great at night. I will continue to do better at posting!
