August 4, 2014 - 9 hours

Sunday night Grace slept for…wait for it…9 hours straight!  I know, I'm amazed too!  She slept from 10 PM - 7 AM.  She actually made a peep around 5 AM so I got up, made her a bottle and pumped milk, but the little booger didn't actually opera her eyes until closer to 7 AM.

Monday Grace and I got a nice visit from my mom :)  I ended up meeting Eric out for lunch too, which was a special treat!

We are slowly transitioning Grace's naps from her swing into her Rock 'n Play.  A couple of weeks ago, I noticed that the following day schedule worked for us:  1) feed bottle, 2) play for about an hour until Grace gets grumpy, 3) nap for about an hour until Grace wakes up and wants another bottle.  Sometimes she naps for longer, but I can usually count on at least a good hour nap between feedings.  Grace had been napping in her swing for weeks now…if I tried to put her in her Rock 'n Play, she would sleep for about 15 minutes and then wake up.  Well, apparently the swing doesn't have that magical touch anymore, because although she likes it, she doesn't automatically fall asleep in it anymore like she used to!  The past couple of days I've been swaddling her and holding her until she falls semi-asleep and then putting her down in her Rock 'n Play.  So far, so good!
