Bath time!

Janie girl love love loves the bath! Usually she takes a bath with Lucas and she loves it even more. Lucas loves to "wash" the baby and he rinses. At first he would dump an entire cup on her, but he now knows to do a little at a time. Tonight Jane took her own bath because we are starting sleep training and Lucas didn't nap until 5:00 (another story, another day) so she flew solo. I brought my camera out so I could capture how silly she is in the bath.


 Love this chubby baby!


Just so I can remember this with next baby... Tonight we started sleep training. Jane is a few days shy of 3 months and I decided it was time. For the past week she has started getting out of her swaddle in the middle of the night and it has been waking her up. She also has become a little too dependent on her swing to fall asleep and she likes to suck her thumb. Plus she scoots and moves and I think she hits the slats and it is getting uncomfortable in the mini crib. With all that said... I thought it was time to move her into her crib. I left her arms out of her swaddle and let her "cry it out". She really only cried for about 5 minutes, and it was more of a whimper. Tomorrow night when she realizes what is about to happen she probably will cry longer. 

So... it's my little experiment. We will she how it goes! It will either be the greatest thing ever with her sleeping through the night or maybe waking up once. Or she will scream all night and I will revert to our old ways for another month :) But I am hoping it goes well because I would really like her to be sleep trained before our big California trip and have the kids used to sleeping in the same room, since they will be in CA!

She looks so sweet in her crib. She crinkled her forehead when the flash went off... love those kissable cheeks!
