six

i truly cannot believe how quickly time is passing.

i already feel a sentimental sadness that turner seems to be growing so fast.

i have heard many people say that time seems to pass more and more quickly with each child, and i wish that were not true, but i believe they must be right.

sometimes i wish i could temporarily freeze time...because i want to savor every moment of this little girl's life...

we hit some major milestones this month, including sleeping through the night (sings halleluiah chorus), sleeping without being swaddled, starting solid foods, and sitting up.

now, freeze. please.

heather, she is beautiful.

how did you get her to sleep without being swaddled? we are trying with chloe, but it is so hard.

heather said...

thanks y'all! april, i feel your pain! she wouldn't sleep without her swaddle until 6 months. we tried several times before then but had such terrible nights we went right back to it the next night. when it finally did work i think she was just ready because it wasn't hard. we did wean her slowly, though, one arm out at a time for a week or so.

Did she sleep okay at night when you took one arm out at a time? I tried for one of her naps, but she didn't sleep well.

well, she didn't sleep well with one arm out before 6 months... it was almost like she was just finally ready for it when she did sleep well without it. sorry-- i know it can be confusing and frustrating! how old is chloe?

she is 5 1/2 months. we will keep trying. she breaks out of her Miracle Blanket around 3 or 4am every night so I feel like it is time. but she doesn't go back to sleep unless i re-wrap her.
