Her Spot.

Annalee does not like to lay flat. At all. She is definitely not a fan of her crib. She will not fall into a deep sleep in there. She'll whimper and moan and spit up and hiccup and eventually wail in there. Maybe she's upset it's a hand-me-down complete with Eli's teeth marks? Whatever the case, we have found one place she absolutely loves: a corner of Grandma and Grandpa's new couch.

She'll hang out there for hours without making a peep. And yes, the thought has crossed my mind to bring her up there in the middle of the night when she's fussy!

Thanks for the sweet outfit and blankies, Ewings! Well loved already!

Evan was the same way! We found the Fisher Price Rock and play sleeper! Best $50 ever spent:)

We also bought the Fisher Price Rock and Play sleeper. Mia won't sleep flat either. She's got reflux and I'm betting your sweet Annalee might have a little of that, too. The doctor told us to use Maalox 4x a day to help. Might be worth asking about. It's helped a little (not a lot though) and Mia has rice cereal in her bottle (per the doctor) to help with the spit up as well. Reflux is mean to these sweet babies. Ella had a bad case of it for over a year! Mia had lots of latching issues as well and I ended up pumping exclusively. She's much happier with a bottle and, if my scale at home is right, she's almost 11lbs at 6 weeks and drinks 5oz! It sounds like our little girls could really get along with all the "trouble" they're causing. Totally worth it, isn't it? I love these girls' cheeks!!
