Grabbing for the phone

In the last week or so, Cecilia has started trying to take my phone
away from me when I take pictures of her or put her on speaker phone
to talk. This is one example of her attempts a few days ago.

"Sitting Up"

Cecilia has started leaning forwards in her baths. Today she was licking the bathwater and having a grand old time.

Sleep Training

Cecilia basically slept through the night while we were on vacation on the east coast. She would get up to eat, but she'd go right back to sleep.

When we got back to California, that changed. She started sleeping in 45-minute increments again and would want to play in the middle of the night. Laura and I decided we had to do something. We were going a little crazy.

We gave Cecilia a routine: bath at 8, read a book, sing a song, feed her, and have her down by 9 or 10. She'd usually fall asleep but then she'd wake up again a short while later.

We finally decided to try the cry it out method on Friday. Friday night was super hard. Laura slept downstairs so she didn't hear the screams (they make her nauseous). I tried to sleep in bed while Cecilia screamed bloody murder all night. She did eventually get herself to sleep for a couple hours... a small victory.

Last night went better. She only cried for a couple hours before putting herself to sleep. She had a nice long nap this afternoon so here's hoping she sleeps better tonight!
