It's Sunday July 6th, Sarah is working from home today and Sophia is napping. She has actually been down for quite awhile. We went for a walk this morning to get the newspaper. She fell asleep in her stroller before we got back. Maybe we should go for a walk more often.
It has been somewhat difficult to get back into routine with her. While we were on vacation in Austin, she slept in her pack-n-play in our room. This did not help with keeping her on the sleeping routine. She seemed to wake up in the middle of the night screaming, with no consoling. Considering we were sharing a house with our friends and their families we wanted to be more conscious of them. One night, it was actually 1:30am, we had to take her out for a drive in the Texas hill country. Don't get me wrong she was great for the whole trip. We actually got many compliments about how happy and easy she was on our flights. That was nice to hear because, in comparison to her other flights, 3 in total, this had to be her worst. However, to hear people say nice things put it in perspective for us.
Once we got home it was back to "baby boot camp". The first night we put her down to sleep she cried. Sarah had read one of the millions of baby books she reads, and it said we should go in there every 2-3 minutes to let her know we were there. This didn't sound good to me, and 2 and a half hours into this it sounded even worse. Therefore, I told Sarah we would try my way the next night. We would just let her cry it out. This lasted only 45 minutes this time and she slept the rest of the night. She has been sleeping through the night, for the most part now, except for when we lie her down. She cries for a bit, but just because she probably wants to be out and not missing anything.
