My ever "saves the day" Mama dropped off some organic brown rice cereal for Matilda's nighttime bottle. All of my friends had sung their praises of cereal at night for longer sleepy goodess. So, I thought "Oh heck yeah I'll try it" and so I did...
Matilda slept for NINE hours!!! NINE! Sweet dreams.
happy baby food
disclaimer: add an insert for the nightime cloth diaper. the cereal packs a whallop!
ps No one warned me about the four month wakeful period. Some kind of friends you are;)

Hello sleep. It's been a long time.
Yesterday at work I started hallucinating when I was staring at the bed we have so beautifully decorated and I realized there was a major problem. Sam picked me up from work and after telling him I was going insane and that he didn't want me to be insane because that wouldn't be any fun, he offered like a true gentleman to "take one for the team." After celebrating some good news my family at our favorite haunt, I came home, turned off the monitor, and said goodnight. From 8:30 pm until 4 am I slept like a tiny baby should until a harried Sam stormed the room with a crying, hungry Matilda and a confused Guinness. He was exhausted, I was already feeling better (even though I would have loved a few more hours of delicious, uninterrupted sleep) so I took that little monkey and fed her and within minutes ALL three of them were snoring and I couldn't go back to sleep for the life of me. I toted that little angel to her crib and within minutes she was cawwing and clucking and cooing and squealing and then screaming. She was like that until 6! HELP!!!!!
Then I fed her and curled her up next to me and she's still asleep...it's after 9am.
