Adora started really crawling yesterday!! It was so cool. Jake started leaving a trail of puffs for her to eat, and she would army crawl toward them Friday. We kept practicing that with her and intended on showing off her new army-crawling skill to her Nana, Pop, and aunts and uncles on the Hostetler side, so we whipped out the web cam. Instead of army crawling, she got up on all fours and crawled like halfway across the living room! She still has to work on her form, and this morning, I think she forgot how to do it for like half an hour before she remembered, but she is moving and grooving a lot now!
Even better news--Adora now sleeps through the night! Friday night, while Jake was in charge, he took away her passy. She went to sleep at her normal time and then woke up like normal between 10:00 and 11:00. I fed her then. She woke up again at 2:00ish, and he did some progressive-waiting (let her cry for three minutes, then go in and try to calm her down--then let her cry for five minutes and then go in and try to calm her down, etc.) and she went back to sleep without the passy and didn't wake up until 5:50! The next night, she slept from 7:30 p.m.-7:20 a.m.! She is a much happier baby during the day and can stay awake for much longer stretches. In fact, she is down to two naps per day now! The crying is hard--we sometimes still have to let her cry for a few minutes before she goes to sleep, but in the end, I think we are all happier this way.
I will try to post some pictures and videos later, but Jake and I are about to eat dinner. Ciao!
looking at the prairie dogs. At one point, we were afraid they were going to eat her toes!
