It only took 11 months

Its funny  how each kid sleeps so different. Bella when she was a baby she liked pure silence and had to be rocked to sleep, then she would listen to a lullaby cd through the whole night~first time parents and i regret how we did that till this day!  Kate she was placed in her crib and feel asleep on her own curling her hair around her finger and listening to music.  Henry so far has been nursed to sleep and would never fall back to sleep on his own if he woke up.  Well this past week he figured out how to get back to sleep.... Cue the choir!!!!! I still nurse him to sleep and place him in his crib but he has woken up many times through out the night, babbled, rolled around and then just went back to bed.  Amazing!  But just now i nursed him and put him in his crib awake for his morning nap, he rolled around babbled and played for 15 minutes and then just fell asleep.  Yay!  So proud.... 

We laugh that the girls sleep habits when they were babies has not changed now that they are older. Bella still till this day takes a lot of work to go to bed, we just started this past week giving her a small dose of melatonin to relax and help her sleep. She always had night terrors and sleep walking issues and that caused so much fear when it came to going to bed. She prefers to sleep with the light on at night {i don't know how she can sleep like that?}

Kate gets tucked in her bed and you shut the lights off and close the door and she is fast asleep within 5 min. She never wakes up during the night and she has never had issues with severe bad dreams.  I hope she continues  like that.  But she is not one you want to sleep with because she rolls around and takes up the whole bed!

I am hoping this family is going to be getting the much needed sleep that it has been lacking!
