Growing Up

So, until last Wednesday, Alyssa was still sleeping in her cradle in our room. I decided that for her 5 month birthday that I would start putting her in her crib in her own room. On the "eve" of her 5 month birthday, we slept in her room. Yes, I slept in the guest bed in her room the first night.

She slept WONDERFUL! I figured since she did so well the first night, that I would sleep in my own room every night after that. It's weird not having her in our room, but she sleeps so much better in her crib.

She is now going to bed between 9 & 10 and getting up anywhere between 8 & 9. It's also kind of nice to be able to go up to bed & get some time to myself at the end of the day. I can read or watch TV without disturbing Alyssa. Bryan works 6 PM - 6 AM Monday through Friday. I told Bryan that it will be nice when I start school, I can put her to bed & then take my laptop that he got me up to bed & do my schoolwork in piece. No dogs, no baby, no husband, just Mom. LOL
