I feel like Miss Lakely is no longer changing daily, more like hourly. This weekend we experienced some crazy changes in her sleep patterns. She has NEVER fought taking a nap, going to bed at night or sleeping in her crib. Well, we experienced all three! She refused to take a nap in her crib at Grandma's house and it even got to the point where we put her portable swing INSIDE the crib to get her to shut her eyes. Given, it was HOURS past her typical nap time when she finally went to sleep. Then that night was even worse! She went down easily but woke up around 1:00am completely upset...guess what I did?! AHHHHH! Something that I SWORE up and down I wouldn't do...put her in the bed with us and she slept snug as a bug in a rug! Then to top off these unusual sleep habits, I had to let her cry herself to sleep lastnight. IT BROKE MY HEART! I sat there watching the monitor counting down the minutes until she layed her sweet little head down...13 minutes to be exact and in those 13 minutes I had to fight every urge I had NOT to run up to her room!
Friday we're headed to the doctor for her 9 month check up! Results to come!

Yikes! Not fun!!! Odd as it sounds, try moving her nap time an hour or two earlier than she usually goes. Sometimes when babies are growing more, they get tired more easily. BUT, when their overly tired, it's way hard to actually get them to sleep. I would move my boys naps down to 10-11am, and it save my life! I even got two a day, sometimes, and it helped a ton at night. Good Luck you guys!!!!
Thanks Lori! Last night was great, and she slept good at school today so I'm hoping she's gotten herself ironed out! The past couple of bottles she hasn't finished as well as her dinner tonight so I think something is going on. She has grown so much the past several weeks, I'm thinking it might be some sort of plateau...we'll see!!
