Nap Time

So since Penny and I are home-bound today, I thought it would be a good time to try out naps in her crib. She sleeps in there at night (well, part of the night) and so I figured we could make the nap/crib transition pretty easy.

Nope. She slept for about 10 minutes before she decided that she was having none of it. She's currently fast asleep in her swing.

I've heard that swing sleeping is "junk" sleep (I guess the motion doesn't give them a full, restful sleep) but I'll take what I can get today. I need to pay bills (done!), do laundry, and make a grocery list - things that are difficult to do while entertaining an infant. PLUS she's almost grown out of the kangaroo & cradle holds in her Moby - the only holds that are recommended for her age. The 'fun' holds we can do when she's closer to three months and can sit pretty much unassisted.

    Jess, we use the swing every single evening for Gracie. it's the only way we can eat dinner and have SOME peace! I know we're gonna have a bad habit to break eventually, but I think you have to do what you have to do, and like you said, some sleep is better than none at all.
