three cheers for kenley!!!

hip hip, hooray! {x3}

baby girl is finally sleeping in her crib alllll night. oh, and, she doesn't cry when we put her down for bed anymore. eat, bath, books, songs, bed. we swaddle her with arms out, give her a little lamb stuffed animal to snuggle {do not forget this--she looooves snuggling things!}, and turn on "the app," as we call it, on "her" ipad* that plays the ocean all night long. we had stopped doing that around 3 months because it didn't seem like it was helping anymore. but after reading 235 articles and 4 books, i decided to bring it back. and, hallelujah.
now, sleeping through the night is still a work in progress, but it is much better.  most nights she only wakes up one time. poor girl has had a hard time learning to sleep. some babies really like the womb--the tight//closeness {swaddle}, the noise {ipad}. kenley is definitely one of these babies. i've read that once babies hit 3 months things get better and the womb-simulating-ness diminishes, but not the case with kenley.
gosh, i love her.

*ahem, kenley uses the ipad

more than us these days.

all night long. until i get

a new iphone, in which

case she will "get" my old

one. unless verizon is going

to let me sell it back for a nice

chunk of change. so, tbd.
