Babies Can Sleep Anywhere

...even with their faces pressed against their crib with their arms hanging out...in a squatting position!! This is how Emma decided to finally fall asleep after we let her cry it out some. I guess she just got too tired yelling and decided to close her eyes for awhile...we will see how long it lasts. I was able to move her back to a more comfortable sleeping position. She has still not been sleeping in her own bed at nights and I am trying to get her used to it...wish us luck! Not that I mind the cuddle time...but she is a mover during the night and I think is waking up to nurse out of habit and comfort now more than the need to eat. I think the teething has been making her not sleep as well either....but because she is so active and mobile now, I would like to not have to worry about her rolling or crawling off the bed if she wakes up! Angel was in her crib for the most part by 6 months so Emma has been spoiled a little longer...I think because I have found it much easier to just sleep and nurse than go to the room and such...we shall see how it goes! We took video, but unfortunately it is coming across to dark....

ROFL!! That is so funny ... your poor little dear. Definitely a picture to keep and hang onto.

Andrew was a bit like that only he stripped his bed of sheets and blankets and threw them out. He was older, though.

I hope things get better for you. It's hard for a little bit but gets better. The sooner you do it the faster it'll work. :)

That is one of the best pictures I've seen of either of your girls! LOL I can't wait for the "fun" times I'm going to have with my little girl. Best of luck with Emma sleeping in her own bed!
Love,
Jill

Too funny. Guess it's in the genes...Daddy can sleep anywhere too, remember? (our daddy, not her daddy!). Anyways, made me laugh out loud.

haha...that just made my morning! made me laugh in the middle of reading a very boring humanities book! If emma could talk, she would have definitely told you afterwards that she was having some severe neck pain! :) megs is right...kinda reminds me of our dad holding onto the bed post!
