Oh, What A Night...

Last night was quite eventful for our little family...well, maybe not super eventful. But kinda. :)

We put Miley down at 7:00 pm (her normal bedtime) and everything was fine. When Cameron and I went up to bed at around 10:00 (yes, we are getting old) Miley sort of woke up, so we each took a turn rocking her, and then put her down, thinking she would go right back to sleep.

Over the next half hour, or 45 minutes she kept whimpering. So we just left her, as we always do, thinking she would fall back asleep on her own.

The next thing I know, her whimpers turn into her high-pitched squeals (more like you would picture an old man to sound like than actual squeals...that's just the only way I know how to describe it). Now this noise only means a couple things...that she is super excited, or is having fun. Something along those lines. So, wondering what could be causing her all this excitement, I go to check on her to make sure she hasn't pulled herself up to standing in her crib. I peek in her room, and this is exactly what she has done! I just peeked in the door, but she was looking right at me, with this look of absolute pride and excitement on her face. So of course, I get Cameron, and we both have a good laugh. I really should have taken a picture or a video (just look at the pictures in my Lots of Love (and some other fun things...) blog, and you can get the idea). But all I was thinking about was crawling back into bed and going to sleep.

Then Cameron decides we better lower the crib. At 11:00 pm. I am so grateful my husband is good enough to do this, because this is the absolute last thing I want to at that time. I probably would have left it and just crossed my fingers for the night. :) So we proceed with pulling off the bumper, the mattress, the crib skirt and lower the crib so we don't have to worry about Miley all night.

At this point, Miley is really wound up, so I decide to feed her to calm her down and hopefully put her down for some real sleep.

AND.....SHE SLEPT THE REST OF THE NIGHT!! From 11:30 till about 7:20 this morning. I was ecstatic. Miley is still waking up once at night to eat, so I figured she would wake up around her normal time (1:00 or 2:00 am), but she slept the rest of the night! Maybe all the excitement wore her out....or maybe I should re-evaluate this eating schedule. :)

Not the most exciting post, but hey. It is February in Minnesota. Not a whole lot else going on these days. :)
