This week, Piper:
-slept in her crib, the longest time yet - 8pm-3:45am
-Makes noise when she yawns and then transitions into making spit bubbles
-discovered that balloons are awesome
-pooped her pants BIG time
-decided that being around other babies is wildly entertaining for her (finally, something! Now, can I borrow your kid?)
-still loves feet out at all times
-still loves being held for catnaps, even though I have been trying to put her down more
-started wearing some 6mos clothes, even if they are a little large
Hopefully next week she starts to sleep even more!!!
This week, Piper...
-rolled over a bunch of times
-slept for a whopping hour and 10 minutes in her crib
-began squawking like a happy bird whilst pooping
-went to daycare at the gym for the first time and was such a good baby the whole time!!!
Why didn't anyone tell me it would be this hard?!!!
Piper is over 3 months old and STILL in her Rock N Play at night. I honestly wish she could just stay in it forever because she slept 12 hours last night. TWELVE HOURS...with a short break around 6am. It is amazing.
However, it doesn't hold her very well anymore, so a change must occur. I've tried putting her down for naps in the crib initially, but most naps average about 10-30 minutes at this point. So, we are also starting to put her down at night. The first night, she slept for 40 minutes and last night she slept for 45. At this rate, she'll be sleeping through the night in her crib by the time she's 4, but we have to keep trying. I can't say I really blame her either. The thing is like a barron jail cell, with a single sheet and bars, but we'll see!
Oh, and we've also placed a pillow under one side of the mattress to semi-mimic the slope of the Rock N Play.
EDITED TO ADD - At 16 weeks, we placed a travel bassinet inside of her crib to help her not feel so vulnerable and it kinda worked! She slept from 8:50pm - 3:30am! Go Pip!
