I can’t remember what I was originally trying to take a photo of this day (22nd of April), but Anna apparently decided that a much better subject for the picture would be her face. Very close up. She was probably right 🙂
Anna Close Up
I would just like to point out that her dummy is not a permanent fixture. We obviously need to convince her to stop using it altogether, but for now she just uses it at night, or when she has woken up in bed, but has decided to just lie there quietly for a while. Unless she is in a bad mood, she is very quick to offer it to us, so it can be put away, before getting out of her crib. Speaking of which, she just stirred (it is 3am here), so I’ll check she is OK and return to writing another post or two in a few minutes.
[edit]
False alarm, she seems to have just murmured a little whilst turning in her sleep. The last three or four weeks she has managed to sleep through the whole night almost 100% of the time. Given that she was previously waking up for a feed two or three times a night still, this is a huge improvement. We have had very little dramatics over this change, and she just seemed to accept it (we did tell her each night that big girls sleep the whole night through, and that we would be there for her in the morning, or if anything was actually wrong in the night).
