Bassinet to Crib

On Sunday, October 16 we decided it was time to transition Vivian from the bassinet in our room to the crib in her room. I thought I would have to rock her to sleep, put her in the crib, then sneak out. Well, when I laid her in the crib she woke up, but to my surprise fell back asleep right away. This is such a huge difference from how she was up to 10-12 weeks. We used to have to hold, walk, bounce, or rock her to sleep every night as she was unable to calm herself (lots of evening crying). I thought that 18 years from
now I was going to have to go to college with her and shush her to sleep every night! But, she now drifts off to sleep every night by herself in the crib. The only downside has been the shorter spans of sleep. In the bassinet she was consistently sleeping a 6 hour span every night. Even 8 hours a couple nights! Now she wakes every 3-4 hours. But this may also be due to a growth spurt. Apparently, just when you think you've got a routine and got it all figured out, the baby changes it up! Well, it's 8:30pm now... Time for bed in the Gratz home.
