Well, Nyla's first Thanksgiving came and went and it was wonderful! She was so adorable; she even got to feed herself some mashed potatoes. Of course more of it ended up on her face and clothes than her mouth, but who cares? She laughed the whole time so we were thrilled!
We traveled to see Paul's family for the holiday, and now Paul and I have come to the conclusion that Nyla is a terrible traveler. Holy no sleep for four days! Every night, we would put her to bed at her regular time and she'd be out. Fast forward three hours and Nylabelle was crying up a storm. Generally we were trying to wait it out with her, but seeing as she was in her Pack-N-Play right next to our bed, the "crying it out" didn't last too long.
We put her in bed with us and tried to go back to sleep. Did she fall back asleep? NO! Homegirl decided that in the wee hours of the morning, the best thing to do is try to climb all over mommy and daddy. She would laugh and say "mama" all while trying to climb over Paul. In daylight hours, this is adorable. In the middle of the night, this is extremely irritating.
Finally we are back home though, so hopefully she will get back into her rhythm and sleep sleep SLEEP. We'll see...update tomorrow.
Good luck!
