More firsts

Maggie's had another couple of firsts this past week. Last week was the first time we put her to bed and she actually fell asleep on her own. It all started one night at about 11:00 when Maggie was on a never-ending nursing binge. She started nursing around 7:00 and would only take short little breaks. We decided that she wasn't really hungry anymore because she also had a bottle around suppertime, so we'd try putting her to bed awake but drowsy. After a rough 20 minutes of whining, she was out! That was it, we were hooked on trying to get her to go to bed on her own from now on. So for the past week she's been falling asleep on her own. It's also been getting progressively earlier. Last night she fell asleep at 7:30 and didn't wake up until 3:00 for a short feed and then back to sleep until 7:30am. Cross you fingers that this behavior will continue!
With her falling asleep so early, Chad and I don't know what to be at anymore. Ha!
Here she is taking a little nap after waking up 6:30am for a cuddle from mommy.

Last Sunday, we took Maggie swimming for the first time. She didn't cry once, which for us meant that she liked it! To see some pictures of Maggie and Xander in the pool, go to www.connieandjohn.blogspot.com

I took Maggie to get her Christmas pictures done today. I had to wake her up from a nap which I don't think she like too much because she didn't smile for the camera once. Oh well, even without a smile, the pictures are cute.

Here is a pic of her before we left to go to the Superstore.
