On the move!

Well Lynsey made some progress this week. On Thursday night while I was at a movie with friends, she spotted a toy a few feet away. She decided that she wanted that toy and put her legs under her and pushed herself forward until she reached her goal! I'm sorry that I wasn't there to see it, but I'm happy for Brian that he was able to catch it. I will probably see most of her "firsts" because I am with her the most, so I'll give him this one:). She is by no means crawling, but it seems when she is determined to get somewhere she will get there. Very exciting!

So an update on the sleeping thing. Much better! This last week has been great in that area. She still wakes up during the night sometimes, but I haven't sat up with her for 4 or 5 nights. Basically we just pop her soother in, wrap her back up, and even though she's still awake when we leave her, she falls asleep on her own! I can only hope that this is not just a fad but her learning how to sleep! Her naps are also for the most part much better. She now sleeps an uninterrupted hour and 45 minutes in the morning, sometimes even a bit longer. The afternoon isn't too consistent yet, but one step at a time. My conclusion about my sleep experiment a few weeks ago is that it was a success. Still not perfect, but continually getting better. Unfortunately, I think she is teething because she is whining a lot more when she's awake and she just attacks our fingers when we put them in her mouth. Nothing poking through yet, though. Hopefully soon!
