Sleeping

I have been helping mommy with her sleep lately. She keeps wanting to wake me up, but I keep trying to tell her I need my sleep and so does she. Mommy bought me a new swaddle blanket it. It's pretty and pink, I like it a lot! It's bigger than my other ones and she can put my feet in it again. I really like being all swaddled up tight. Erika at daycare does the same thing with a blanket there. It helps me sleep so much better. Mom also put something under my crib sheet that makes me feel so much more secure. Since all these things I have slept a lot better than I was after Christmas.

Last night was the best night so far. Mommy gave me a bath. I really love bath time with mom. She makes it so much fun and it really tires me out and I love going to bed all clean. Then she changed me into my favorite Monkey PJ's and then it was food time. I love when I get fed, yummy milk. After that she read me from one of my favorite books."Little Bo in Italy", it is written by Julie Andrews and her daughter Emma. So far we are on Chapter 4 and it's getting interesting. Mommy reads me a little each night.

Then she got my diaper changed and swaddled me up tight as could be. I am her little pink burrito. I don't know what a burrito is, but she tells me that every night. She sang "The Ants go Marching" which is my favorite song. Really only because it's the only one that mommy remembers the words to and she has been singing it to me every night since I was born. I slept for about an hour and then I woke up from a bad dream or something. Mommy came in and rocked me, gave me my pacifier and put me back to sleep. I slept then until they went to bed around 10:30. She did the same thing. I wasn't hungry just wanted some comforting. I let Mommy & Daddy sleep a LONG time. I didn't need to eat until 2:30. Mommy came in and we had our special time without daddy in the middle of the night. I sure like this time. The house is quiet and it's just the two of us. I then slept until 4 when I needed to be comforted again and then I was out until 6:30. Time to get up and start the day!

I am trying really hard to sleep better at night for mom, but it's hard, my mouth doesn't feel right all the time and that makes it hard to sleep and I am still getting used to my crib. My swing was so much smaller and tighter around me and my crib is so big! Probably why I like to be swaddled so much. My goal is to only get up when I need to eat, but I do love to eat!
