First Night In Her Crib

Madeline slept in her crib for the first time last night. She did very well. We were worried she would get upset when she woke up in the morning in her room by herself. However, this was not the case. We both woke up at the same time when we heard her on the monitor. Kris got up to check on her and Maddie was just laying in her crib talking to herself. We have been very fortunate with her and her sleeping habits. For the first few months, it was tough because she wasn't supposed to go any more than four hours without nursing. However, around four months old, she started eating cereal and sleeping through the night. She fights going to sleep, but once she is out, she is out for the night.
When we first brought Maddie home, she slept in a bassinet. She HATED it (probably because she felt too confined). So, she has slept in a pack 'n play ever since. We knew it was time to take her out of the pack 'n play and put her in the crib earlier this week. Kris woke me up and said, "Look at her!" When I looked, Maddie was on her knees with both hands on the edge of her pack 'n play looking at us with a huge smile on her face. Kris said, "I think it's time we put her in her crib."

How cute. But she looks so tiny in her crib. She probably did enjoy the quiet though (no Daddy snoring in her ears).

Love you

Allison use to sleep just like Maddie; we have a lot of pictures of her sleeping with her little butt in the air!
