I came home to an exhausted baby girl today. She got a late start on her morning nap and didn't go down for her afternoon nap. As busy, inquisitive, and independent as she is, she is also quite predictable. She has a routine and reacts quite similar when that routine falls apart. As much as she is a little free spirit, she also feels comfort from structure. Some people thought I was crazy to establish a feed and sleep schedule so early and to wake my sleeping baby to feed. But at less than a few months old she has slept 12 hrs a night without waking. She is a great eater, and most often a happy baby.
And if anyone doesn't believe in a consistent schedule for babies, they should spend just five minutes with my butter bean after she doesn't get her afternoon nap. They will pray to a scheduling GOd :)
