Week 15, August 4th - 10th

Wednesday, August 4th
I sit here typing as Ella finishes off a nap in her room. We've spent the last few days (since last Saturday night) doing some sleep training. It was getting harder and harder to get Ella to go to sleep and stay asleep. Things have been so much nicer. She can now go to sleep all on her own. But she wakes up 30 minutes in to her nap, cries for awhile, then goes back to sleep to finish her nap. We're working on getting a real schedule going... at least for when she gets up in the morning and when she goes to sleep at night.


She's very good at sucking her thumb now. That's her right hand too... was noticing that she prefers to suck on that hand.

Ella slept 7 1/2 hours in a row last night! Yea! And yesterday we got her to take a nap at some one else's house! Yea! It only lasted a half an hour but that's okay. She was a happy baby again afterwards. Last night she slept from 8pm until 3:30am, ate, then slept again until 7am and is now up. I'd prefer an 8 o'clock wake up time. I'll work on that.

Ella rolled from her tummy to her back today for the first time. Yea!


Tuesday, August 10th
Ella slept from 8:15pm until 6:15am (10 hours!) and then again from 6:30am until 9:30am (3 hours!). I got 7 hours continuous sleep. It has been a VERY long time since I've gotten that much sleep.

Here's a video clip taken today of Ella rolling over.
