OBSERVING

Tonight I decided to change things up a bit and put Macie to bed a little bit earlier then usual, she is such a good sleeper and usually goes to bed at 9 wakes up around 4 or 5 for a feed then back to bed until about 7:30, which is perfect for me as I usually  head to bed around 10:00 get 5 or 6 hours of sleep wake up fed her then back to bed for another 2 to 3 hours. It is the perfect amount of sleep for me and I hardly ever need to nap during the day which makes it nice to have the time to get other things done when Macie naps. Anyways so tonight I decided to up her bedtime to 8:00 as the past couple of days she has been sleeping longer, this morning she was not awake again until about 9:30 which throws off so much of my day and her day as usually her first nap starts around that time. So today she only had one long nap instead of two naps. So we had an earlier bath tonight and a long feed at 7:00 then snuggled for a bit until 8:00 came around. Then I took her upstairs to her bed, layed her in it, sang her a song, kissed her on the forhead, then turned off the light and headed out of her bedroom while almost closing the door behind me. I thought it would be fun to watch her fall asleep as I knew it might take a little longer tonight to fall asleep with going to bed 1 hr earlier. I had the door open just a crack and watched my little sweetheart not make a single peep but move from stomach to back about 10 times, all over the bed with her head sometimes at the front of the bed, sometimes at the side and sometimes in the middle. Her arms sometimes hanged out of the crib and were sometimes tucked under her tummy. She was honestly all over the place it was so cute and so funny, she was also looking all over the place, but luckily did not spot me observing her. The best part though was how she did not make a sound the whole entire time. Finally after 10 minutes of watching her I had to go and get my work out in. After I was done I came upstairs to get some water when she started crying, I go in to see what was wrong and she was totally turned the opposite way with no covers and her arms stuck in a funny position, I picked her up gave her a sweet hug then placed her back in bed, she fell right back to sleep and is hopefully out for the night. It was so fun to watch her and I was so amazed at how she could so peacefully, yet not peacefully put herself to sleep.
