Four Months Old

Sleep Update:
We’re about halfway through our first 10-day improvement plan with Josie, and I think it’s safe to say that she is doing better. Having a consistent bedtime routine has been the most helpful change. She’s also gotten better at resettling herself after I put her down, so now we’re moving on to try having her lay down when she’s drowsy to finish falling asleep on her own.
Hopefully, all of this will eventually help her to self-soothe some of the time when she wakes during the night. My goal isn’t necessarily for her to sleep completely through the night just yet (although that would be wonderful!) — I’d just like to see her have more nights with just a couple of wakings. She has nights like that sometimes already, so I’m optimistic that we’re on the right track.

Wow. They grow *fast*. I can’t believe she’s four months old already… and I haven’t even been able to meet her in person yet!
