Charlee has not always been the best sleeper. And looking back I know so much of that was probably me :). She had sever acid reflux and could not sleep flat on her back so the rock n play sleeper was a life saver for us, she seriously sleep in this until she was 5 or so months, basically she out grew it. My husband gives me a hard time because I HAD to have the pottery barn bassinet. It is just so beautiful and I have loved it for years way before I was even pregnant. I think Charlee slept in it a total of 5 days....haha. But it's so pretty and who knows when we have baby number two they may love it!!!
Charlee's stages of sleeping...
When she finally made it to her room, she was ready and she started sleeping through the night pretty quick.....we were so thankful because the cry out method just wasn't for me. Don't get me wrong we had to let her cry a little a few nights but not for long or I would have to go get her my heart couldn't handle it and neither could Jason's. She is now a great sleeper 11 to 12 hours a night. We do have a routine that we have stuck to since she was itty bitty... Bath, milk, book, lots of kisses, then bed. And she loves all of her bedtime things. She has had the baby Einstein aquarium since she was a few weeks old and she LOVES it, she will now sit up and turn it on then go back to sleep! As soon as I felt comfortable letting her sleep with anything in the crib she has slept with these security blankets, they are little and breathable and she holds it all night long, and has to take it out with her in the morning. The sound machine is a must for us she's always had noise going and I think it drowns out other stuff. I also like this one because it goes all night long, no automatic shut off. And the wubby pacifiers are great because if she loses it in the night the bigger animal makes it's easier for her to find. We have also been using this humidifier through these cold winter months. These are things that seem to work for Charlee, she loves them all and so do we!

And now it's time for some fun pictures of my girl......
It's been chilly this week so we wore our matching furry boots!
Just working on the phone.
Oops... trying to get that one specific toy and she is all in.
This week we started a new morning routine. We hang out in bed when's she first wakes up.... Mama has her coffe and Charlee has her Cheerios, we snuggle and watch the today show... It's a great start to my morning!
Happy Friday!
