Just Write

Lately we’ve been working on improving our bedtime routine for Fiona in an attempt to get her to consistently put herself to sleep, as opposed to her falling asleep on Amy’s lap and then us laying her down in her crib.  Tonight was very much like every other night we’ve tried this routine, with Fi fussing when we lay her down as though we were leaving her, never to return.  After a few minutes of fussing, there was complete silence.  Like I typically do, I went in to check on her, only to find that she was so upset this time, she had flipped herself onto her stomach, still sound asleep.  She’s never done that in bed before, or at the very least, she’s never done so without flipping back over before we could find her on her stomach.

Side note -she’s not quite sitting up on her own yet, but when helped up into a sitting position, she can for minutes at a time without assistance.  Every day is something new.  Even the smallest things are special.
