Two Months

I can't believe it is already time for another post. Caroline is growing so fast and changing daily.  This month has been so fun and Caroline is starting to have such a personality. She loves to talk and gets very loud when she thinks you aren't listening. She is a very happy baby who only cries when she is hungry or  needs a diaper change, oh and at 7:00 every night. My goal was to have Caroline sleeping in her own room and her own bed by 6 weeks. She was in our room for the first 5 weeks but slept in a bassinet. The weekend before she turned 6 weeks we decided to try out the crib. We were prepared for no sleep so that is why we tried it out on the weekend.  To our surprise, Caroline loved her crib and her own room. She officially slept through the night at 6 weeks 1 day and has been sleeping through the night ever since.. We have a very strict bedtime routine but why would I change it when it works so well.  We start bath at 7:30, do a lotion massage and pjs, eat, and she is out by 8:00. She will usually sleep until 8:00 or 9:00 the next morning. Now that I am back to work, I have to wake her up about 5:30 to get her dressed and feed her before we head out the door.  Anyone that knows me, knows how much I love my sleep so Chris and I have decided that she definitely got her sleeping habit from me. I was released to go back go work at 8 weeks, although I definitely dreaded it, I knew it was time to go back and get in a routine. Caroline has adjusted really well to the new routine and I'm so thankful for our wonderful sitter. Debbie is awesome and Caroline loves her and her new friends so much. It's such a great feeling when I drop Caroline off at Debbie's and the minute Debbie leans down to say Good Morning, Caroline gets this huge grin on her face. These past 2 months have been wonderful and we can't even remember what life was like before we had C.  I do wish time would slow down a little because it really does go too fast.
