I just love her little rolls.haha Also I'm thinking that I should re-word things a tiny bit in the post, but we don't do baths every night as I think it'd make their skin too dry, and its hard work.haha But I always just planned on this being the first in a series talking about sleeping, I just thought this was a good basics starting point, but yes this girl is the easiest to get to sleep! I usually never rock her to sleep and always just put her in her crib once we've done the steps (she has to have a binky and a blanket to hold), but I think because we were taking longer to take the pictures she just couldn't wait any longer.haha <br />Anyways, sorry for the novel, but I'll definitely go into more details in the next post as soon as I get my act together:)<br /><br />THanks so much for reading!Emily Meyershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09302498123966365253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5825683437599074471.post-68485987648945826982016-04-14T14:47:14.752-06:002016-04-14T14:47:14.752-06:00Thank you so much for saying that Lana:) It makes ...Thank you so much for saying that Lana:) It makes me sad when people feel the need to vent their negativity on strangers via the internet. especially when they haven't taken the time to even read the post.haha It is always an effort to keep my voice and share my own content while at the same time earning a living for my family, but I know I have many more sweethearts behind me like you, and I certainly count myself very lucky!<br /><br />Again thank you for taking the time to comment:)<br />Have a great rest of your weekEmily Meyershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09302498123966365253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5825683437599074471.post-17443491647511609262016-04-14T13:27:20.586-06:002016-04-14T13:27:20.586-06:00Oh my sweetest Emily & beautiful family.

My son just turned 1, and still wakes up to nurse through the night (which is fine because I want him to get the nutrients he needs) but I'd be interested to hear about how you've gotten your kids to sleep 12- or if it's just what they naturally do...?

My 5 month old hates bathing (since she's been about 3 months old, no idea why it changed from one day to the next) so it doesn't help calm her down at all. We take a shower together every 2-3 days, that's all the water she tolerares at the moment :)<br />I'd love to read some of your tips on getting babies to sleep longer stretches during the night. While she goes to bed without trouble every night (so far our routine is working), we're still working on sleeping more than 5 hours at a time. <br />Best wishesManoulehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14915527275772250977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5825683437599074471.post-22087708254067464872016-03-21T20:28:48.398-06:002016-03-21T20:28:48.398-06:00Sweet!Sweet!Gabrielahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07517539941863646826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5825683437599074471.post-62696937937370824932016-03-21T19:48:33.006-06:002016-03-21T19:48:33.006-06:00You and your baby are so cute!
