Go figure, McKenna could give a crap about being in there versus our room.... she sleeps the same, if not better than when she was in the pack n' play in our room.
My guess about her sleeping heavier in the crib was wayyy off. We actually watch this moving monster do 360s on a regular basis... she even did a full 360 within 20-30 minutes of putting her down a couple of nights back. She flails and flops around, which is why we have absolutely NOTHING in the crib with her. She'll end up on the complete other side of the crib with her head facing the other direction. Watching the video monitor has become more entertaining than our nightly television selection.
And we've found out that she's a pretty good self-soother.
Is this not creepy or what??? The last 2 nights we've put her down and she ultimately woke up within minutes and stirred for AT LEAST 30 minutes wide awake. The night of this picture she stared, blinking, and moving around for ONE HOUR! And there was not a single peep out of her. She just laid in there wide awake, looking into darkness. Of course knowing that she is in a good mood and awake just makes me want to go in and cuddle with her LOL, but I refrained.
We're so happy with how well she (and I) have transitioned. And I'm hoping that our newfound knowledge of her self-soothing will help us through the upcoming "4 month sleep regression" everyone warns about. They also haven't met this log of a sleeper. Her 4 month birthday is rapidly approaching (AKA Sunday!) so we'll see if her sleeping pattern changes at all.
