Brenna is 8 Months!

Brenna is 8 months old today. It's so hard to imagine what life was ever like without her. I guess our biggest update over the last week or so is that she is FINALLY sleeping better. She had been getting up 2 or 3 times at night and we needed to nip that in the bud. We decided that we needed to let her "cry it out" and while it was TERRIBLE to hear her cry and not go right in and get her, it really worked WONDERS!!! The first night she woke up around 2am and cried for 35 minutes and then finally fell asleep. Then she woke again around 4:30am and cried for 15 minutes, then right to sleep until 7am. The next night, she woke up once and cried for 15 minutes, then right back to sleep for the rest of the night. The third night was our miracle night where she didn't wake up at all (or if she did, she put herself right back to sleep) and she slept for almost 12 hours! It was wonderful!!! We're still working on it...she hasn't had another one of those 12 hour nights but we're still working on it.

At 8 months, Brenna weighs about 20 pounds. She has between 3-4 bottles a day and eats baby food 3 times a day as well.

Last weekend was Turtlefest at Loggerhead Park in Juno Beach. We met up with the playdate pals and got some cute pics out of the day.
