Final Sleep/Nap Update!

Well ya'll it has been officially two weeks since I began the transition from napper to crib.  Also taking my pediatrician's advice and no longer feeding her a middle of the night bottle.  Honestly, the not feeding her in the middle of the night seemed the easiest to do.  She seemed on board when we started and never really has cried to much for it during the night.  In fact she was better about sleeping through the night than her naps in the crib.  Don't get me wrong she did wake up but she never would really cry more just make noises or move around (a lot).
I will say the pediatrician was right that it would take two weeks to get some good results and set up a good routine with her.  We took her advice, some advice from friends with experience, and lastly when it came to naps, which she fought the most, I read a book called, "The Sleepeasy Solution".  That booked really helped.  It gave a me a more accurate picture of what her nap time schedule should look like so I could help create a good routine for her.
After two hard weeks can say this pretty confidently, she loves her nap time now, especially her morning nap.  She sleeps always in her crib, in fact I think she likes it now :)

It was a tough 2 weeks, especially the first week, a ton of crying but now it is all worth it.  Again here are some cute pics of our little penguin's sleeping adventures!


Nap time :



She see's us checking in on her!  



Lots of moving going on before bedtime!



She is on to us! 
(there is a small blue light on camera we think she sees)



More nap time bliss!



Love us some rosy cheeks!


Started at one end of the crib and moved all the way to the other!


sleep in motion!






Snuggled up in a corner.


Need a little mid-night stretch!



Sprawled out!



Again with those rosy cheeks & legs!



Yep her bum is in the air! :)
