Settling in

Ashley is settling in at home just great!  The girl can sleep and that is pretty much what she does day and night!  We'd like her to follow a eat-active time-sleep routine but she eats, sleeps and then wakes up to eat again.  Maybe eat time is considered awake time?  No matter, she is a great baby!

Just like Trevor, starting her first night home she sleeps in her crib.  We usually put her down around 8:00 and she's up around 1:00 to eat and then again around 5:30 or 6:00am.  Not too shabby!  See big babies sleep!  So that she continues to keep days and nights what they are supposed to be, we spend our days downstairs where it is nice and light.  We haven't yet had her nap in her crib, it's much too fun to cuddle or where we can see her in her pack-and-play or swing. 

No real fussy time these first few days.  We were expecting hers to be like Trevor's from about 10pm-midnight but that isn't the case yet.  Nana Jeanne always took that shift with Trevor so she's probably missing out on that time with Ashley ;)  She did cry once around 9pm after just feeding and couldn't settle down for about 20 long minutes.  Turns out she was hungry.  So she cluster fed for the next hour or so and then went to bed in a food coma.  Hmmm....maybe that was Trevor's 'issue' - oh, to be able to go back in time!

There is one thing for sure though and that is that Trevor LOVES his baby sister.  He proudly tells anyone that asks that her name is baby Ashley!

Last but not least for today is this picture of baby Ashley loving on her Mommy :)
