Gaaaahhh
Things are getting harder here, in a rapid fashion.
It's 11:15 p.m. and Quinn just fell asleep. She usually goes down at about 7:30 or 8:00. The culprit was probably the hour and a half ride home from Aunt Cinda's house at 6:00 tonight, which left her just refreshed enough to not want to go to sleep when we got home. Once placed in her crib, she started sitting up. And sitting up. And sitting up.
I don't want to recount the whole evening. Andy and I are both frazzled and don't really know how to handle this new burst of independence.
Refusing sleep. Crawling to the TV, outlets, dog toys, drawers, cabinets, blah blah blah. Grabbing at the spoon she's eating from and insisting on doing it herself. (Not a bad thing, I know, but a messy one.)
Where's our little baby bunny girl?

It's hard being parents. You were blessed with 3-4 months of more "calm" babyhood than most parents get. The real fun is just beginning! She's getting to be a big girl now.Enjoy every minute of Quinn's innocent explorations and discovery learning because this stage will pass all too quickly. Encourage her independence and her changing sleep/wake schedule. It's OK for her to sit up and play alone in her crib or playpen. She will sleep when she is ready, and will get as much as sleep as she needs. Babies are remarkably self-sufficient in so many ways. Love from the Grandma.
