Abby's sleep schedule is great....

...if we lived in Taiwan!! Lately she's taken to taking long naps during the day and cat napping during the night. Eek! She still eats every three hours with at least one or two feedings stretching out to four hours a day (which is a nice break/nap for us). But on the plus side, she's definitely grown taller and is approximately 10 lbs now. Much to my relief, her eyelashes are growing in and they are like Bryce's - whew! They are long and naturally curl up -- so un-Asian and so unlike Mom! Her hair is getting longer too; still growing straight up! My mom says my hair was like that too and it was a while before it began to lay flat. We'll see about Abby!

Due to Abby's new sleep cycle, she's been testing my patience. I have yet to break down in tears but I'm sure the day will come. Out of desparation, I've been trying different positions for her to sleep in:
On her belly...

In my lap...

Swaddled in the Boppy chair...that apparently didn't work.

Swaddled laying on her back...

So finally I packed her up in the car seat and we went out for a ride around the neighborhood...and it worked! Couple that with some soothing soft classical baby music (thank you Aunt Debbie!) in the background, I finally got a quiet sleepy baby!


Abby finally graduated to sleeping in her own crib in her own room. We initially had her in the Pack N' Play in our room, then she graduated to sleeping in the living room still in the PNP and now she's made it to her own room.


These last 2 pictures are being posted just because I think she looks cute - the first she's posing again and the second is her usual monkey nose/kissy lips face. :)
