Bedtime

Her bedtime routine starts with changing her into her nightgown. She loves having her tops taken off. I pull her arms out of her top and gather up the material near her neck and smile while saying "1 - 2 - 3." I then quickly pull the top over her head. She loves this and giggles every time! We only use the crib for bedtime (she naps in the pack n play) so, she gets excited when I lay her down in it. I swaddle her tight but leave out her left arm so she can soothe herself (thumb sucking) back to sleep if she wakes up during the night. I sing her a quick song and then wind up her mobile which always puts a smile on her face. Night night Aubrey... I miss her so much during the night and become completely entertained by watching her on the video monitor. I always look forward to her first morning smiles.
