Sleeping through the night!!!

That's right, folks! Aubrey is officially sleeping through the night!

For the last four nights in a row, we have put Aubrey to bed at about 10 p.m. She doesn't wake up until 6:30 a.m.!!!! At first I thought it was a fluke, but hopefully four nights in a row isn't just a big tease.

To top it all off, Aubrey is also sleeping in her own bedroom at night. When the weather cooled off last week Ron did a bit of a happy-dance. Ron loves sleeping with the window wide open in the cold months, but couldn't do that with Aubrey sleeping in our bedroom. We decided to give it a try and put her in the crib two nights ago. She stayed asleep all night! We had a successful repeat last night, so I am thinking we made progress.

Although I am proud of my daughter for being so independent at night, I haven't slept nearly as well as she has these last few nights. The first night Aubrey slept 8 hours straight, I kept waking up wondering why Aubrey had not made a noise yet. Now that she is sleeping in her own bedroom, I find myself half awake most of the night listening to the baby monitor. When I can't hear her chattering in her sleep I end up in her bedroom checking to see if she is breathing. Luckily Aubrey is a bit of a chatterbox so I don't have to make those trips down the hallway very often.

Now excuse me while I go pout that my eight week old child is already growing up and moving out!
