Happy Baby

Over the last few months we've had some trouble with Sydney at night - she's been waking up 4 - 5 times and just needs her nuk put back in. We still swaddle her - so there is no way for her to find it herself. We decided this was becoming a sleep prop and before Christmas we took a long weekend and started the arduous task of breaking her of it at bedtime. Things had been going well, but between the craziness of the holidays and her being sick last week the nuk made a reappearance. So this week now that she's better we decided to try to phase it out again. It has gone extremely well and she now goes down without a nuk at bedtime and at naps with pretty much zero fuss. She's been sleeping about 11 hours at night without so much as a peep!
She's been waking up very happy as you can see from the video I took after one of her naps this afternoon.

This video is actually from last month - Syd has a toy cow and chicken (thanks Meghan!) that have become some of her favorites...and some of Richard's favorites too. :)
