Which must be why she ...
Slept Like A Rockstar
Two nights ago Brooke had a rough night. Her naps during the day were messed up (as in, didnt happen) and that translated into a bad night of sleep. Maybe 4 hours of sleep in 12 hours (versus what is usually 8-10 hours during that span). Needless to say, this lack of sleep led to a cranky Brook almost all day yesterday. She took a nap during the day (two actually) and though they were long, she STILL woke up cranky. As the day progressed I was sure she would need to go to bed early - and would likely sleep hard. We decided to risk it and take her out to dinner with us, her first dinner out and our chance to actually go out on NYE. So she ate dinner at 7pm and was put to "bed" in her carseat. She actually was awake the whole drive to the restaurant, which NEVER happens. She always sleeps in the car. I'll admit, we were pretty sure our plan would be a bust and we would be "those people" with a screaming baby in the restaurant. But, shortly after we got seated she fell alseep, about 8PM.When we got home, I put her right into her crib. She stirred a bit, but fell back asleep. Jeff & I watched her on the monitor from our room forever, but she didnt seem to miss us as much as we missed her. Next time I heard from her was 2AM. She ate and then fought going back to sleep, but was back down (in the crib still) at 3:30. Next time she stirred was 7:30AM!
Not only did Brooke spend the night in her crib, and do really well without us, but she also slept from 8pm until 7:30AM with only one interruption in between :) What a great start to 2009!
