Ferberization continues

We've had some great nights--to bed at 6 PM and up at 6 AM with no intervention from us at all. We've had some good nights--to bed at 6 PM, up at 3:30 for a bottle, and back up for good at 5:30. And we've had some less than perfect nights (the past two in a row)--to bed at 6 PM, up at 12:30 with the 5, 10, 15 minute thing (that only lasted 15-20 minutes total), up at 3:30 or 4 for a bottle, and up for good at 5:30 or 6. We're working on it. I think this may just be an ongoing process forever. It is much better than waking 6-7 times a night for bottles and pacifiers, though!

Good notes:
(1) I found a generic diaper that doesn't give Olivia a rash. The Publix brand seems to work for her. We had been buying Pampers or Huggies, which are pricey, and we had tried Target, Walmart, and Babies R Us generics.

(2) We love CHOM. Yesterday, Olivia and I needed to get out of the house, so off to CHOM we went. Olivia's favorite part is the Art Studio where I put on puppet shows for her.



(3) Olivia can now crawl well enough to follow me around. I no longer have to move her from the closet to the bathroom when I am getting ready in the morning. She can do it herself!
