Sleep

Lilly was a great sleeper when she was tiny. Starting at three weeks old she slept through the night and by that I mean from 7pm to 8am with out fail. This continued through our drive to Alaska, so about 6 months. Once we got here though everything fell apart, she was up multiple times a night for no apparent reason. We tried everything and I never could get her to sleep all the way through the night. Lately it had been up 6-8 times and would usually end up with me sitting with her on the couch while she slept. 

She came down with a pretty nasty cold last week, one that left her so stuffy she couldn't eat with out getting out of breath. So after 3-4 days of this I gave her cold medicine so she could sleep. And sleep she did, all night usually until 9-10 am. I haven't felt so good in months. 

Last night however I did not give her any medicine and Mike put her to bed, well it is 7:30 am and she is still sleeping and she has been asleep since Mike put her to bed. Go DAD! 

I'm not counting on this to continue forever (wouldn't want to jinx myself) but for now we are enjoying it thoroughly. The only downfall to this is that when she does not get up until 10am she does not take a nap. Hopefully we will get into a routine of 8am wake up and one nap and then sleeping all night. 

It's all good until she gets another tooth and well then we start all over :-)
