Mixed bag

Parenting is all about unpredictability, I guess! Ovya has started to sleep through the night this week. All by herself, she has regulated to sleep from about 10pm to about 7am, waking up once early morning for a feed. We are just amazed that this has happened so quickly. I think for Kav, this happened after the 3rd month. So that's the good part...

To the down side. She is just not sleeping during the day. I mean, a baby is supposed to sleep close to 20 hours, right? She dozes off and on for some 20 mins through the day, prolly totalling 3-4 hours. She seems to be suffering from reflux and maybe that's what is waking her up from her naps. Her not sleeping during the day means me, not sleeping during the day, plus holding and craddling her a lot leaves me real tired at the end of the day. Today I have made her nap in her bassinet rather than the crib with her head well elevated to see if that helps.

Yesterday, Rajesh called out her name and she moved her head to the other side in the direction of the sound! He repeated it a couple more times with the same result. She does that when Kav talks to her as well. It is so funny that her eyes still can't focus right but she moves around as if to look anyways :)

Kav's school has re-started after the break today. He was excited to go and even had his breakfast with no fuss!
