Early Christmas Present

Emersynne has given me the best early Christmas present ever. I don't think anything else will top this one!

She has been sleeping through the night. When I say sleeping through the night I mean sleeping 11-12 hours straight! It is pretty unbelievable. None of my babies have started doing this so early. She isn't even 3 months old yet and started sleeping really long stretches at 2 months. It's been pretty consistent now and has happened for over a week. Since she has been taking a pacifier and not sucking her thumb I was not expecting her to sleep like this. My other kids started sleeping really well when they found their thumbs but that was not until around 4 or 5 months old.

When I snuck in to check on her one morning after she had already been asleep 11 hours I found out the reason for her sleeping so well. She had found her thumb after all. I had never seen her sucking it during the day and it seems she only finds it in her sleep.

Thank goodness for thumbs!

hear hear on the thumbs!! Janey did that 11 hour nightime sleep at 2 months too. It's not so long now, but it's still through the night as far as I'm concerned. YAY!
