Haley has been waking up a lot during the night lately. She goes through stretches where she only wakes up once or twice. Her most recent trend is to wake up every hour. She did okay Friday night, but Saturday she woke up at 11 and didn't fully go back to sleep until 1. I've stopped feeding her when she wakes up, and only rocking her back to sleep. She still fights that a little, but it had seemed to work all last week. Sunday night though, she was up at 11 and almost every hour after that. Same thing on Monday, and same thing last night. It's a real struggle to get her to even take a pacifier when she wakes up. I fear I've become a human pacifier for her!! She has a doctor's appointment tomorrow, so I will get some suggestions from him.
Other than the sleeping she's been real good. She's trying to crawl really bad. She can push her self backwards, but can't quite pull herself forward yet. She's just moving all around. She's sitting up pretty well on her own, but still topples over when she reaches too far for a toy. She's still talking up a storm and making new sounds every day. I love to say "mama" and "dada" to her and watch her smile. For some reason she just thinks those words are so funny. I started feeding her some baby food as well. So far she's tried carrots and bananas, and liked them both.
I finally entered Haley in a photo contest yesterday. It's for the cover of 'Babytalk Magazine' and it's a contest in conjunction with GMA ('Good Morning America'). They pick 8 finalists to come out to New York for a photo shoot, and then they narrow the winners down to 3. The winner is then voted on by America. They will announce the 8 finalists on June 13th I believe, so I'll let you know how she does. If you want to look at some of the babies that have been entered you can go to the "babies" link above. I think she's the cutest!!
