I did briefly consider that it might be silly to continue with these every month now that she's made it past the year mark, but I post so rarely that without these I might just stop altogether! Throughout Sylvia's first year, she continued to wake up hungry at least 2-3 times each night. Apparently Sylvia is not the kind of kid to just naturally start sleeping through the night, so we've decided to take matters into our own hands. Following a process recommended in The Sleepeasy Solution, we started the weaning process a few days ago -- each night allowing her to have less and less milk. She took it pretty well until the last night when she seemed to be offended by being offered only 1.5 ounces. Last night was the first night without any overnight feedings... She was pretty upset with us for about 3 hours, but she eventually fell back asleep. Hopefully it'll get easier from here.
We're all doing well. Max and I are still inching toward our graduate degrees. Sylvia definitely boosts the difficulty factor on getting to the finish line, but it'll be all the more gratifying once we get there! We let the TV help us distract her a little more often than we'd like, but we do spend a lot of time playing with her, and most days we a least manage to get her out to the nearby playground or the pool. By this time next month, we should be the Drs. Kraxaw! Then maybe I'll finally post another video of Sylvia walking!
