My poor girl had a rough day yesterday. She was usually tired in the morning and I ended up putting her down for her nap a little after 10am and she slept until noon. Two hours is a regular nap for her but since she is use to going down around noon instead of getting up then I think it messed her up. In the later afternoon she became very cranky and tired and when I asked her if she wanted to go "ni-night" she repeated "ni-night" and asked for "bink" and "mon." That is usually a pretty good sign that she does need to go down so I tried her for a second nap. She fussed for about 20 minutes in her crib so I got her up but she continued to be very fussy. She got extremely upset over silly things and cried and cried. It had be a bit worried because she would get so upset and was inconsolable. The happiest she was was lying on the couch with Craig or me reading a book. She was not interested in eating and we ended up putting her to bed at 5:30! Craig rocked her in his arms and she practically fell asleep. But then she kept waking up crying off and on and I ended up laying down in our bed with her. Craig had the idea to give her a warm bottle, which she usually does not get at night, but it is comforting and we figured she was thirsty from skipping dinner (she drinks cold milk with dinner). She sucked the bottle down in bed with me and then said "night-night" and fell asleep. I was surprised how easily she fell asleep with me. She slept away but I did not because I had a very small area of the bed and it was hard to get comfortable. I move around in bed so much these days to reposition (which is a major undertaking). Craig came up shortly later and carried her back to her crib for me. She woke up a little but went right back to sleep and slept fine until 7am (her normal time). It was fun snuggling with my baby for a little while even though I was not comfortable and I could not spoon her because she would have her feet in my belly. I am really paranoid about her hurting my belly which she did earlier in the day with an elbow to my abdomen. Here is a picture of her suggling with daddy before bed.
