Ella slept through the night yesterday. I know I've been bad about updating on her sleep routine. It's because it pretty much went out the window. A-man is still tending to her at nights but we had a few bad nights of teething and roseola during the last month so her routine was screwed by me having to take care of her or co-sleep during the really bad nights. She's still doing really well with A-man although she gets so disappointed when he goes in instead of me. It's so sad but cute. This one time, she thought I was A-man and wouldn't even look up to see me and just started bawling. But as soon as I whispered her name, her eyes opened up wide and you could just see the relief in her whole body.
Anyways, last night we all watched a movie and I nursed her to sleep on the sofa and it was over around 9pm, I carried her to her room and put her down. Even though she was awake while I was carrying her, she just closed her eyes as soon as she hit the mattress. She didn't even want to nurse which is totally unexpected and when I thought she was sleeping, I started walking out the door but she opened up her eyes and just motioned for me to stay with her hands without crying or anything. Soon after that she fell asleep for the night and although she cried around 1am, she didn't wake up until after 5am!!! That is THE best and longest she's ever slept. I woke up several times cuz I'm just not used to not hearing her during the night but even though we had a 3 hour nap late in the day yesterday, she did so well at night.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed for tonight but I really dont' expect a repeat.
Just awesomeness!

That's great. Don't you hate when you wake up in the middle of the night for no reason, only because you're so used to it? At least you didn't have to get out of bed. :)
That's great! I hope E does keep it up. I wish my little boy would learn a lesson from E, but he's nowhere near that yet. I'd definitely be waking up several times a night to check on my son the first time he ever sleeps at least eight hours straight.
You go Ella!! You sweetheart you.
