Sleep update

So this routine thing isn't really working. It works as far as relaxes her and then I can get her down really easy anywhere between 8-10. But she wakes up after about an hour...usually by 10 or so and then is up until 2am. We've tried swaddling her, singing her to sleep, using the sleep sheep, no tv, dim lighting etc. It is exhausting! Saturday was probably the best night. I think we wore her out during the day that she did sleep from 10-1am and then went back down easy again. It was really nice because Brandon and I were able to watch a movie together. I know I should have been sleeping, but we really haven't seen much of each other.
Anyway, last night I was desperate and used a pacifier. It worked and she fell asleep at 1am. I'm not a huge fan of pacifiers, but I think we need to introduce one to her because I think it's the comfort that she needs, not necessarily food. I went to Babies r Us today and bought some that were dentist approved. They are also the same brand as our bottles and she takes those easy, so I thought it would help. While at Babies r Us, I also bought the miracle blanket. We've started swaddling her again and sometimes that seems to calm her fussiness. I have heard good things about the miracle blanket and it's 100% guarentee so I thought I'd give it a shot. We have the swaddle me blankets with velcro and she can wiggle out of them. This is what I found her like the other morning:




Some positive things though....Saturday, the day we wore her out, Brandon and I decided to visit my sister in Edmonds to go for a walk. My other sister Kellie was visiting too, so it was Me, Brandon, Allison, Nikki, Andrew and Kellie. We saw that the ferry was letting out so we got on and went to Kingston. I was the most nervous because I knew I had to feed her on the ferry, but luckily I had my hooter hider. :) This is the only picture I got from the ferry (Brandon has more on his phone):


All we did in Kingston was eat. Not even very good food, but it was a fun adventure. After we got back to Edmonds, we went back to Nikki and Andrew's house. We all sat on their bed listening to pop music and Allison was loving it! She was so cute and smiley! You could tell she was so tired, but she didn't want to miss out on anything. It was so cute. I'm surprised we got her down so easy that night!

Today her and I visited my work. She was such a good baby and everyone loved her. She also let me go to Babies r Us and did great! It wasn't until we got home that she started fussing because she was so tired. Oh well, at least I got out of the house! :)
