Munkey B has finally started sleeping through the night again. We considered ourselves very lucky that from the start she was sleeping long stretches at night. Then all the sudden at about three months it came to a grinding halt. She was up at 2, 3, and 5 a.m. routinely. I think it was because she was teething and possibly having herself a little string bean growth spurt.
I was taking her back to bed with me and developing a very bad habit of her sleeping with us for a while. Luckily I wised up and started to sit up with her just long enough for her to eat, about a hour, then put her back in her bed. It worked wonderfully and it helped get her trained to go back to sleep in her own bed.
Just since last week, she's been sleeping through the night again. The first night she did, I woke up at 3 like usual, worried because she hadn't woken me up crying. I went in there and she was sound asleep and it's been like that every night since, except I don't get up to check on her now, I sleep!
We've gotten her on a regular nap schedule during the day and she has a somewhat fixed bedtime of 10 p.m. and we're hoping to move that up even earlier in the future.
Munkey also had another milestone last night. We were playing with her on the floor and she managed to roll over by herself from her back to her front. I guess it won't be long now until she starts trying to crawl, then it will be a whole new ball game for me.

Rolling over...another milestone !
She does need her "string bean" growth sleep, but isn't she fun at this age when she is awake.
Glad you are getting your sleep now, too:)
So soon we get to find out if Munkey Mommy can run as fast the beautiful little munkey can scoot?
