sleep re-training

4 month old evie has officially hit the "4 month wakeful period." if you are like us, you have probably never heard of this dreaded time period. evie has gone from sleeping 6-9 hours straight at night to waking up more than she ever did as a newborn. thankfully, our pediatrician is wonderful & helped explain this wakeful behavior at her 4 month checkup this past week.

evie's sweet little brain is on overdrive soaking in the world around her & it makes it difficult for her to sleep. she will wake up in the night talking to herself & refuses to take naps. so we have officially started sleep training... something we already thought we conquered. such is the life of parents...something is always bound to change. thankfully, erik & i understand that we don't have it all figured out & will constantly be forced to adapt & change. but for the planner that i am, my patient husband has to remind me of this quite frequently.

after round one of sleep training the score is...

evie 1. mommy & daddy 0.
