Another weekend gone and another Sunday upon us. Annabelle was unable to wear any of her Halloween outfits due to the crazy heat the past few days. We ended up turning the AC on yesterday! The AC… in October?! No thank you! Hopefully the heat wave is over and we can get back to fall weather!
Yesterday we had Matt’s family over to celebrate birthdays. It was great to see everyone, and I’m sure everyone loved seeing us Annabelle. Yesterday was also a great sleeping day for Annabelle. We have been transition to two naps, and yesterday her first nap was about 45 minutes, but she was able to lengthen her second nap on her own to 1.5 hours! 1.5 hours! She hasn’t done that since before four months. It was great! We have a video monitor along with the Angelcare Movement Monitor. The Anglecare monitor picks up her breathing and will sound an alarm if
there has been no movement for 20 seconds. I highly suggest buying the
monitor if you are worrier like I am. It’s not too expensive ($70 on
amazon). If not for the Angelcare Monitor, I would have probably gone in to check on her and woke her up.
Last night was a monumental night… Annabelle slept the entire night (11.5 hours) without getting up! I couldn’t believe it when 4am rolled around and she still hadn’t gotten up to eat. Luckily I was able to fall back asleep (once again I think I wasn’t worried due to the Angelcare Monitor… and no I am not getting paid to push their product ;)).
Today however, sleep has not been a priority for Annabelle. She was up at 6am, and so far her two naps have only been 30 minutes each. I decided that a third nap was in order, and luckily she fell asleep (we will see how long she does sleep for).
Here is a little preview from my Halloween mantel. Hopefully in the next few days I will be able to take some pictures of it so you can see how it looks! I am also in the process of figuring out how to share with you the little sign I made below. If anyone knows how to do this, feel free to share that information! 🙂
