So, up until this week, we've been kind of relaxed about Zoe's sleep schedule. She's pretty much dozed off whenever she wanted to and we've had her sleeping in our bed with us. It just felt natural and right and she loves being close to us. Since breastfeeding didn't go too well, I also figured it was a chance for us to have our close time. HOWEVER, now it's time to transition her back into her own bed. Partly because I think she's ready to start on a more structured sleeping schedule and partly because she likes to hog the bed and the under eye bags that Steve and I were diligently working on when she was first born are starting to re-appear...lucky us:-) Starting Monday, I've been trying to get her taking her two naps during the day. A shortish one at around 11 and a longer one between 2 and 3 in the afternoon. We've also tried to establish bedtime around 10. Needless to say, it's been a fun week but I know that it will be worth it in the long run for her and for us both. She is a happier baby when she gets the sleep she needs and, consequently, we're happier too:-) She sure is growing fast though. In the last few weeks, she's wanted to sit up more, loves to interact with people and watch their faces and talk to you. So far, she hasn't really gotten too much into toys but she loves to read books. I think she's going to be a pretty social little girl because her favorite things to do are to talk and watch people.
