Bedtime Routines

Ok, so bedtime seems to be getting easier. I've been trying to push it back from 8 to 9 and ultimately want a 10 p.m. bedtime. Tonight was like clockwork. I've been trying to do things in the same order each night but just a little later each night. So, tonight, we went on a walk (we actually did this earlier, since it's starting to get dark earlier....) and then came home had some tummy time and watched the Daddy video. Normally, those two things are daytime activities, so I think I bought myself a little time with them.

So here's the bedtime routine - I'm trying to get a book read somewhere in here, but tonight she didn't let me...... It's so simple. We go in the bedroom, change the diaper, put on some PJ's, turn off the light, turn off the living room light and sit in the recliner to try to read a book. Then, we go to the couch, feed the baby, and she falls asleep. Now, I just have to put her to bed in the crib.

I started her a little bit in her bedroom today at naptime. She was asleep and I put her down, and then she woke up and cried, which she normally doesn't cry when she wakes up, she normally lets out a little whimper. So, we'll just keep trying until it doesn't scare the heck out of her. :)
