Tummy Time

Leah has been sleeping in our room since we brought her home. We have her pack-n-play in there, because her room is upstairs and our bedroom is downstairs; we figured it would be a good idea to have her closer to us for awhile. It's great having her there, for sure, but there is one clear downside: she is a loud sleeper. Even in the hospital the night she was born, everyone was marveling at the myriad of noises she makes when she sleeps. They're adorable, but they never stop. I've gotten used to it, I think, but poor Scott has been run out of the bedroom a couple of times because it keeps him awake sometimes. The other night, though, when she was particularly adamant about not going to sleep, Scott was trying different things to get her to relax. He laid her on her stomach, which she hadn't liked when we tried it before. That night, though, it was just the ticket - she went to sleep and slept for a couple of hours like that. What's more, she slept quietly. Silently, really. I think it's the best sleep she's had, and now her tummy is her preferred position for naps. Don't worry - we're careful. There are no blankets or toys or floofy things anywhere around when we lay her like that....and her parents keep a pretty close eye on her, anyway.
