I'm able to update again so soon b/c Rya is actually napping! Yay! I stayed home this weekend while Jesse went to the farm- football lost their first playoff game so the season is over for the Little Cyclones. I think being home and napping in her crib rather than somewhere away from home is important to getting Rya to nap on the weekends. She slept 9-10:30 this morning, with a little fussing around 9:35 for a couple minutes. Then, I got her down for her afternoon nap at 1 and she's still sleeping at 2:30. I'm hoping she'll sleep for at least another hour. She sleeps until 4 most days at the sitter's. So, I've been able to eat lunch & relax, watch football, upload pictures, and blog. I have laundry and dusting to do, but that can be done tomorrow. =] We went to the grocery store in between naps, and I'm just a happy girl right now! Maybe the more suprising thing for me today was that I didn't even have to rock Rya to get her down for her nap. She was wide awake, cooing to herself when I left her in her crib, and she went to sleep. I didn't swaddle her for her naps today, since Eski (daycare provider) doesn't swaddle Rya anymore, and that may also be the key, in addition to actually being home this weekend. She can soothe herself, and is able to move. We may try not swaddling her at night now too. Hopefully, that will result in even better sleep overnight. Last night Rya went to bed about 9:10 and slept until 6:30 this morning, with a little noise at 5:40. It felt good to be able to sleep in until 6:30 this morning! I laid down for an hour this morning when she napped, but didn't really sleep. But I feel good right now!
What else? I know I owe some pictures so here they are-
I bought a little fairy costume for Rya for Halloween so we'll get pictures of that this weekend. Until next time...enjoy the beautiful fall weather. Thanks to Starbucks, I know there are only 57 days until Christmas!
P.S. as I was uploading pictures Rya woke up at 2:45, fussed a little & went back to sleep for about 8 minutes and then woke up again for about 5 mins, went back to sleep for about 5 mins and then woke up again for good. So, she was in her crib for 2:15. I'll take that as a good start. =]
