Rebecca sleeping so much better - 6-13-11

Rebecca is doing so much better getting to sleep, I think we've finally turned the corner!  I was so worried about her because I was going to celebrate Wendy's 40th birthday and would be away for up to 2 nights.  But by a wonderful stroke of luck, or divine intervention, Rebecca fell asleep on her own Thursday night, lying on her stomach with her thumb in her mouth.  She slept in the same position from 11 am to after 6 am.  I checked on her once or twice during the night to find her sleeping peacefully!  That made me feel so much better about being away.  Up until then, Rebecca was having a hard time falling asleep on her own, often waking up when I tried to lay her in the crib, unless she was soundly sleeping later at night.  She spent alot of evenings sleeping in the boppy in the family room and alot of very early mornings sleeping in bed with Mommy.  For the last couple of months, she was waking up every 2-3 hours.  She slept through the night Friday night for Daddy and Grandma Marla, who'd come to visit and help babysit.  She woke up at 2am and 4am on Saturday night, but fell back asleep each time after having a bottle.  I got home Sunday around noon, and put Rebecca down in her crib around 1:30 for a nap, pleasantly surprised to see her settle down in her crib, sucking her thumb, for an over 2 hour nap!
