Co Sleeping

Well...Presley has successfully stayed in dream land in her crib for 9 to 11 hours for the past 3 nights (One of which I turned the monitor down when I was half asleep). Don't worry, we can hear her without it if she wants us to.

I think that with all the people around kinda threw her off, but mostly I think that she was starting to realize that where does mommy and daddy go at night, and wherever they are I want to be there!

At first she resisted, crying out every hour! We thought we had died and gone back to the first two weeks of her life. Then, one night after a while of this, I went in picked her up, changed her diaper and began to rock her. I told her that we were here for her, to protect and love her. I told her we loved her and that she needed to sleep in her crib. I prayed for her that she would feel safe and secure and that His presence would fill her room...and...that was 3 nights ago.

Thank-you Lord for caring about the sleep of little ones, and their parents :)

Christmas came and went so fast. We had Christmas here this year, and I thank both sides that they were willing to load up their children and fly their families to our home so that we could have Christmas at our house. Unfortunately I was sick...the baby was sick....and Terry was sick! Praise God that I was able to take sick time and have not been to work since Friday the 21st.

Presley looks so adorable in these pictures doesn't she???

Same Old Same Old

Everything is going pretty well over here at the Lu household. Presley is now 7 months old. She stays sitting up when you put her on the floor. She is rolling over from tummy to back and somehow moving around a bit on the floor. I have not caught her in the action but when I leave the room and come back she has gotten to a toy somehow. She babbles ma ma ma, da da da, ba ba ba, and screams. She does some really strange funny things that show her personality. She is a true individual and joy to have! When I went back to work, I started letting her sleep with me after her middle of the night feeding and that led to earlier wakening in the night. I just loved waking up next to her eye to eye and making each other laugh early in the morning....I missed her all day, who could blame me???? I am gong to tackle that since I am off for the next 5 days. I don't know how its going to go because I am not really motivated. We'll see...We have lots of family coming to visit and Christmas is at our new home this year. We have lots to be thankful to Christ for and so much hope and excitement for what lies ahead.
