Sleepy Little Girl!

Madeline went to bed at 7:00 last night! She woke up at 10:15, and I put her in her jammies, fed her a bottle, and she went back to sleep until 6:00 this morning! MIL said she was crabby yesterday, and when Jer left to go to one of his many fantasy football drafts last night, I knew what she was talking about. Maddy was just fighting sleep. I put her in the jumper, then the exersaucer, then the swing, then I held her, then I fed her, then I changed her, then I put her in her crib, then I layed in our bed with her, then I put her in the jumper, then the exersaucer, then the swing, then I held her, then I fed her, then I changed her, then I put her in her crib AND she passed out. Somewhere in the rotation, I also walked her around outside, sang her a song, rocked her, gave her juice, gave her gas drops, thought about giving her a bath, and read her a book. Nothing really helped. She was just so overtired (primarily the result of a crappy night's sleep Monday night - see previous post).

She woke up super happy this morning. All she wanted to do was sit up in our bed and watch ESPN - it's so funny how much she loves to watch sports on TV. Her dad is really proud of that. She's going to be sitting up on her own any second now. She wants to sit and see everything - even when she's in the bath tub or you're holding her. It's already so obvious how independent she is going to be (sniff, sniff), but it's amazing to see her determination and watch her work so hard to do things. It's no wonder she needed more sleep.
