After a week of trying the crib and staying home, I finally gave in. For some reason Gabriela would sleep 2-3 hour naps in the crib, but would not sleep well at all from 7 pm-1 am in there. Two nights ago, I put her back in the swing for the night time portion of her sleep (thinking she'd wake me up for her usual 3-4 am feeding) and then I would feed her and put her down in the crib. Well, the little princess woke up at 7 am! She slept for 8 hours in her swing. Last night I tried the same thing. I fed her, read her a book, rocked her and put her in the crib. She first woke up 30 minutes later, I rocked her and put her back down again. An hour later, up she was again! I rocked her, put her down, then picked her up, rocked her and put her down again. After 3 cycles of this, I finally put her in her swing again. Of course, she slept for about 7 hours straight again. I have no idea why she doesn't sleep for that long in her crib! I guess time will tell; we'll keep trying.
This past Saturday was our godson/cousin Colin's baptism. We hope all went well and we can't wait to hear the details. Once I get some pictures I will post a picture of him. Congratulations Colin, we love you all!
