Oops!

Ava has successfully slept in her crib through the night for the past few weeks. But last night she had a little setback. We are not sure why, but she woke up at 1:30! Now my husband has really impressed me with his daddy skills but in the middle of the night, he is clueless! When he heard me getting up to go check on Ava, he started to get in the shower. He had no idea what was going on! :) Anyway, everyone and every book will tell you not to pick up your baby but to try to get them to go back to sleep on their own. I tried rubbing her hair, singing to her, and giving her a pacifier....she wasn't having it. So I resorted to the one thing I said I would never, ever do....

Yep. That's Ava all snugly and comfy in our bed! Now I know it is very unsafe to sleep with a baby in the bed with you. Trust me, I never was asleep more than 10 minutes at a time before Ava's little arms or legs would fling into me! She is such a little wiggle worm! She must have been very cozy because we had to wake her up this morning at 7 to eat... I hope we haven't started a very bad habit!

(Pam, I know I promised I would never put Ava in the bed with me...but how do you say no to this...)
