So this Bumbo seat is one of my favorite things. Since I can't put Avery down during her naps without her waking up and screaming, I'm stuck doing everything while she's awake. We were having the Elders over for dinner so I had to get something cooking this morning. She'll sit in her seat for a good half-hour while I get dinner ready or do the dishes. The other bonus...I scored it for $2 at a garage sale! Yes, my little secret's out about garage sales. They're the best! I actually have 2 or these...the first one I bought for 10 bucks but it came with the little tray i can put toys on and stuff. Anyway, most people keep a kitchenaid on their counter..not me...a bumbo seat now has permanent residence in my kitchen.
ps...this tired expression is the result of being awake since 3am. heh...before getting in the shower, I pulled out my makeup remover to get the mascara smear off from under my eyes and NOTHING CAME OFF! Yes, the dark circles are here to stay. Please let tonight be better. I'd love any advice for how to keep your baby asleep...we get her to sleep easy at the beginning of the night, but once she wakes up to eat after 3 hours, it's a continuous struggle to get her back to sleep!

Oh honey you have GOT to read Baby Wise. Seriously, it has been my baby bible for all 4 kids. Are you swaddling her? Will she take a pacifier? I usually feed Tess once a night (around 3) and then if she gets up after that I just pop in her paci and leave. I try to do her 1st morning feeding at the same time every day (give or take a half hour or so). I also love white noise (they have white noise makers you can buy... but I'm just using a big fan in her room that I turn on every night). Anyway, ready the book! It's awesome!!!
I don't know how to make a baby sleep, but that picture is SUPER cute!
WHATEVER WORKS to get her to know it is sleep time. :) I am a fan of babywise too, but habits are hard to break when they think it is awake time!
