Go To Sleep Little Baby

So the past few weeks I have been thinking about moving Madison to her crib. I told myself I was going to at 2 months old, that didn't happen. Then I said I was going to when she was 3 months old and that happened by accident!

Every night I give Madison a bath around 8ish or 9ish. I usually wait until she has just ate or right before she is going to eat, that way she is nice and full after her bath. Well on Tuesday while I was setting up her humidifier, I laid her down in her crib with the mobile going. After reading the directions and getting it running I went back to get her to bring her downstairs with me for a little bit. She was asleep! I ended up leaving her in there, but she did wake up shortly after and I ended up putting her in her bassinet to sleep.

The next night I did the same while I changed the water in the humidifier after her bath. She was on the border line of sleep, so I sat in the glider to make sure she was actually going to go to sleep. She did and she slept in her crib that night for the first time. She also slept in it last night and she is currently sleeping in it tonight. Granted her crib is still technically in the room with us, just over in the little nook area, but still it is different not having her next to me in her bassinet.

Also, Madison has slept through the night as early as a little before she turned 2 months old. The first night she did sleep through the night I was up checking on her and a few nights following I still continued to check on her in the middle of the night. It is nice now though, because I can really enjoy a good nights sleep or atleast more than 4 hour naps. One night she slept from 10pm to 7 am and this was before she was 3 months old. Her typical schedule is 10ish bedtime and she wakes up around 5am at the earliest and 8ish at the latest. Occasionally she will wake up at 2ish if she doesn't eat enough before bed.

I am for sure thankful to have such a good baby. She is so happy in the mornings and I am known to be the opposite. We balance each other out! :)
