We both slept ALL NIGHT!!!!

Thursday, February 26, 2009

I know a baby sleeping through the night is monumental for every mom, but as a mother of twins I seriously wondered if it would ever happen for both of them on the same night!!!! Payton has been sleeping through the night for about a month and last night was Savanah's first!! Yeah!!! Hopefully there will be more nights like this to follow~

When we stopped feeding them during the night in January we started some bad habits with Savanah to get her to make it through....like giving her a paci when she cried and letting her sleep with her daddy. Well it had gotten much worse with her waking 3-4 times a night and not settling until she was in our bed so I decided yesterday it had to stop. I told her all day how much I loved her but that I was going to let her cry tonight...that she had to learn to sleep in her own bed and that it would be better... So I was all geared up to play the tough guy and let her cry until she went to sleep... and then she never woke up!!! It was great!!! So tonight I might have to be tough guy but last night was a wonderful surprise!! (By the way I LOVE Babywise... Payton is sleeping 11 hours straight and last night Savanah slept 10 ~ and they nap 4-5 hours a day!!!)

The have also started eating vegetables on Monday! They've tried sweet potatoes (gave them gas), carrotts and peas. That's probably why Savanah is sleeping longer because she needed more food :) They are doing pretty good with it, but it's a lot harder for me to feed them than the bottle. I'm sure we'll all get better at it with time!!

Here's some pictures of what's been going on over the last few weeks!!



Here's the rest of their 5 months portraits with me!!
