When Julia gets sleepy, she shows very obvious signs - yawning, eye rubbing, thumb sucking (if she's really exhausted). She's been sleeping straight through the night without waking up even once for a while - the last month or so for sure.
She goes down, sometimes around 6:30, sometimes 7ish and sleeps through for about 12 hours. Sometimes she wakes up early, like 6 a.m. (like today) and wants a bottle. She cries until I grab her and we sit in the chair. She cuddles up and she sucks it down like it's gonna get away from her.
When she's done,I put her back into her crib, she grabs her blankie and inserts her thumb into mouth and crashes out for a couple more hours.
She is such a superbaby. It really does amaze me. Lucky us!
