Morgan -- A Night Owl...

It's okay, because she's cute -- but we are seriously lacking sleep at our house! Morgan has really ended up getting her days and nights confused. I have tried many different things to try and remedy this -- but it seems that she's sticking to her guns on this one. She has this super fussy time between 10:00 pm and 12:00 am and then she eats and will usually go to sleep sometime between 2:00 am and 3:00 am. She will sleep 5-6 hours, wake to eat and take a few naps during the day. Last night was actually the best night we've had in a long time. We avoided the fussy time by the skin of our teeth by entertaining her and trying to tire her out. I don't know if this is the "right" approach, but sanity comes first. She went to sleep around 1:30 am without having to cry for 2 hours before hand! I realize all of this is normal infant development at this age. Jack used to fuss every night from 7 pm to 9 pm for a few weeks...then he'd sleep "through the night" from about 11 pm to 6 am...so our time is coming -- I just hope sooner than later.

Morgan's reflux is well controlled now -- YAY! She's taking Prilosec and 2 tsp of rice cereal in her bottles. She's still on Nutramigen formula (the pricey stuff) but since it's working so well I am reluctant to make any changes at this point in time.



She's a happy baby (this picture is for Steph -- Miss Morgan in Tony's high chair!!) She loves to play on the floor...she even loves tummy time! She's growing and changing every day right before our eyes. She has her 4 month check up soon -- and I am sure Dr. C. will be pleased!

I have so many other things to blog about...but it always sounds better in my head, and when I get to the computer it just doesn't come out! I think of things before sleeping most nights and by the time I remember any of it, my thoughts are random and disconnected! So I will continue to read the blogs of my dear friends and stare in awe over their ability to write so well!
