Dear Carolyn,
You did the cutest thing last night. I was getting ready for bed, and I put you in your cradle and wound up your mobile. For the first time, instead of looking at the white arm that connects the mobile to your cradle, you looked up. You didn’t just follow the animals with your eyes, you rolled your whole head around to look at each one. (You seem to be partial to the pink kitty – the doggies may never forgive you…) When the music stopped, you looked at the mobile, and looked at me, and the message was clear: “Make them go again, Mommy!” So I wound it back up and you watched them all over again.
Oh, and you did another wonderful thing last night, too. You slept from 10:30 to 5:00. I think you might have even gone longer than that, but I’ll admit to encouraging you to wake up at that point, because I really needed to nurse you. Sorry. Can we try for that again tonight? I’d really appreciate it!
Love, Mommy
Yay, Carolyn!! Boo slept for 5.5 hours yesterday (he’s more of a 3 or 4-hour sleeper). Though his stretch was in the afternoon unfortunately.
