When a baby can sleep through the night will vary, but Babycenter says most babies sleep through the night by the time they are 9 months. This concept of "sleeping through the night" is a tricky one for most parents, who visualize 8 hours (or more!) of uninterrupted sleep. The thing is, "through the night" is defined as midnight until 5AM!
Honestly, we have been pretty lucky. Brooke is a good sleeper. As a whole, she has been sleeping from 7-7, getting up once in the middle to eat. But last night she was exhausted and we put her to bed at 6:30 ... she didnt get up again until 7! No midnight snack :) Babies love to keep things lively and I'm not counting on this to happen anytime in the near future, but it sure would be nice.
A Visitor!
Brooke's Daddy is gone all weekend, the first time he has had to leave her. While Brooke is really going to miss him, she is actually really excited ... because Aunt Jean is coming to visit her again! Brooke hasnt seen Aunt Jean since Christmas and is excited to show her all of the new things she can do :)
