The Secret

A and I think we may have discovered the secret to getting our little bean to sleep. Last night we put her down at 10:30 and didn't hear a peep until 2. Then she slept another 2.5 hours, and then another 2.25. And she should start sleeping even longer stretched. 3.5 hours is our longest yet! So, how'd we do this? Well, she was awake from about 8-10:30, so we hung out with her and kept her entertained and awake. We played on the play gym and sang songs. I think that helped. The other things my baby needs?
  • A full belly
  • A swaddle
  • A clean, empty butthole
Yep. She took a huge poop, then downed 4 oz, so we cleaned her up and swaddled and out she went. Mommy and daddy both got uninterrupted sleep. Now I just need to get her to keep pooping and eating a lot.

And seriously, getting pooped and peed on is no longer an issue for me. Without fail, she poops every time we're changing a poopy diaper. She also shot pee at us, but daddy's quick reflexes got the diaper up as a shield. How does a girl shoot pee? We were impressed. The kid's got talent.
