Cousin dance party!

Ainsley had a chance to see her cousin Ellie, Auntie Farah and Uncle Jimmy this weekend. The celebrated by dancing in the kitchen. A good time was had by all.
Little stinker just won't seem to sleep in her crib lately, preferring to wedge between mommy and daddy in our room. This has to change and it will. Of course, she sleeps great when she is with us!

I'm sorry, I'm just laughing at the whole "she will get out of our bed" thing. Good luck with that.

Seriously, we lucked out with Mason because he HATED to be wedged between us. The boy needs space when he sleeps. Miles was another story and was in bed with us from the time he was 3 months old until we kicked him out at 15 months. It was a difficult transition for him, one I don't wish on anyone.

That said, if that's where she's comfortable, and you're both sleeping well with her there, then that's where she needs to be right now. Babies are very good at telling you what they want and co-sleeping is not "spoiling" a baby. We are one of very few cultures who expect our babies to sleep in a separate room from us. You enjoy that cuddle time as long as you can, and do your best to get her back to being accustomed to her crib.

She's a doll! Love, Val
