Smiles

She's all smiles........




Unless of course, shes not........but we love her either way :)




Oh and I am in the middle of reading some books and The Healthy Sleep habits is a must read for any parent that is struggling with a child that has sleep issues(naps, bedtime drama, waking up at night, etc.) Brylee is still so young (6 weeks now!) to even know if she will have sleeping problems but I wanted to get on top of it early! She has always been a great sleeper at night, usually only wakes up once but was extremely fussy during most of the day, after reading the book I discovered that she was exhausted. I started soothing her to sleep a lot more and earlier than before and she is like a totally different baby. Her bedtime is now 7pm (before we had to deal with a screaming session for 2 hours from 9-11 sometimes) and she still sleeps through the night only waking up once. She was screaming because she was overly tired. I just had no idea how important sleep really was so anyways I just wanted to share because I know if it helped me I'm sure it can help someone else out (thank you T for recommending the book, love ya!) First time parenting is so much fun, it's definitely a learning process but I am loving every minute of it!

  1. Amber, she is so cute! I have the sleep habits book and agree with you, it is a must. Although every baby is different. My oldest Zander still wakes up at night and he is now 4 years old. I can't figure that kid out to save my life. Sounds like you are doing well. Keep in touch!
