1 Year Check Up

The official stats are in! Hayden is just about off the charts on everything yet again!
  • Weight - 25 lbs 15 oz - 92%
  • Height - 2' 6" - 87%

Hayden has been sleeping through the night for the past 2+ weeks now and I've been in HEAVEN!!! I can't remember the last time I got 6 hours of continuous sleep! So now that she's FINALLY sleeping through the night and we have a good bedtime routine, the doctor tells us we need to change our routine! WHAT??? Yes, she can no longer have a bottle. I'm sure she'll be ok with that, at least I'm hoping she will! But here's my thing... Hayden is so difficult to put to bed. She refuses to go to sleep unless I give her milk and rock her to sleep. Once she's out, I put her in bed and she's down for the night! Now if I give her milk at night I have to brush her teeth afterwards, which is fine, I totally understand that! But then that means that I have to walk and dance (more like bounce) around until she falls asleep.

I've tried many times to just put her down and let her put herself to bed, but she has never been willing to do that! We've figured out that she doesn't like confined spaces (cribs, playpens, etc) so she's been sleeping in our bed by herself with pillows around her. She loves to roll from one pillow to another! So now we are looking at buy her a full size bed (a twin bed will A- not fit her convertable crib that readjusts to fit a full size bed, and B- she rolls around too much that she'd roll right off a twin bed!)

I guess I will just have to deal with a new bedtime routine yet again! I hope she adjusts to this new routine quick and without a hitch! If anyone has any tips for me, I'm all ears!!!!
