Well Maggie has started to walk in the past week. A big woo hoo, but a right pain to getting her to sleep.
It has been very hard to get her down at night and even harder to put her in the cot. Some nights I have gone to bed early with her, or just brought her out to the lounge to sleep on one our laps till we go to bed. Even her day naps are more difficult.
There was a woo hoo last night thought, she slept for 6 hours straight till 2:30am!! Even though I went to be at 10, I still felt better for that longer stretch of sleep. I have noticed though, the longer she sleeps, the longer it takes to get her back to sleep. It probably took an hour till she was fully asleep. I did get her to sleep early, but she wouldn't go back in the cot, so I brought her to bed as per normal.
I think she is enjoying her bedtime stories. She keeps on turning the pages for me and is now pointing at the pictures.
Now all I have to do is start to get DH more involved. I would like to go out one night. She is beginning to muck around with being fed to sleep, so I may start breaking her of that before she really bites me (I am feeling those teeth a bit more).
