I had more trouble than usual getting Nina to go to bed tonight. Usually I nurse her, swaddle her, put her down and within a few minutes, she’s asleep. Tonight she started crying and was not placated by tummy rubbing or “earthquake bed,” so I had to pick her up and rock her for a while. This is the view from the rocking chair. Seeing it reminded me of the nights when she would wake up and take an hour or sometimes two to get back to sleep. I did a lot of staring at that lit window across the way. Now she sleeps until morning on most days.

I think she may be moving toward an earlier bedtime. She fell asleep on her own around 8:30. I woke her up for a bath and feeding and bedtime at her usual 10:00. Tomorrow I’ll try putting her down for the night a little earlier and see what happens.
