So, like any new parents, we are trying to get this sleep thing down. Addie was the baby that could not sleep without being swaddled which is fine but if her arms got the least little bit free, she would wake up crying. After a few nights of getting up 5-6 times for the swaddle, we decided to try teaching her to sleep without it. Yes, it was a hard and scary decision, but it's proved to work! I think she likes the freedom and she is sleeping. She slept from 8:30 (got to bed later than usual) until 3:00, got soothed back to sleep and up at 5:00 to eat then slept until 8:00 am!!! I have not had that much sleep since before our little one was born!!! Needless to say, we all felt rather rested today and it was great.
Now for the picture, I pulled her into bed with me to eat since I wasn't feeling top notch. Well, she fell asleep too and slept in our bed for about an hour and a half...she's never done that. We thought she looked so sweet so we had to grab a picture. :)
