Sleep update :)

I can officially say Ellee is sleeping through the night!!  She has been doing very well the last few weeks.  She is even starting to put herself to sleep with out much fussing and she is sleeping 8 to 12 hours a night. I am still trying to get used to this...Some nights I wake up at 4am wondering why Ellee hasn't woken up yet.  I have found that she likes to be swaddled.  When she is swaddled she will sleep longer.  We are feeling much more rested in this house! Ellee has also become much more predictable during the day now that she is on a feeding schedule.  It is like clockwork!  Her daily routine is to eat every 3-4 hours with her last feeding no later than 9pm.  After she is done eating she will play for about and hour then she is ready for a nap.  We are now working on getting her to nap longer.  She will take three to four 30-45 minute naps but, wont sleep any longer than 45 minutes.  Hopefully as she gets a little older she will start to take longer naps so she doesn't have to take as many during the day.
The book On Becoming Babywise has been a great tool.  I'm so glad that it was recommended to me!

Ellee was playing on her mat and all of a sudden she was out like a light! :)
