Happy 9 Months, Mya!
Apparently Mya received a memo stating that when you turn nine months old you no longer need to nap! When she was an eight month old, she was a FABULOUS napper. Now that she has turned nine months old, she is a NIGHTMARE napper!
Yesterday, she took a 2 hour morning nap and an 1 afternoon nap. This morning, she absolutely REFUSED to take a morning nap. She began whimpering as we approached her bedroom. As I placed her into her crib (9:30), her whimper turned into an all out hysterical scream. I thought, "ok, I'll just let her cry it out for a minute or two and then she will roll over and go to sleep." Boy, was I wrong!!! She screamed and screamed and gasped for air like someone was torturing her. I rescued her 3 times before deciding enough was enough (10:30). Maybe she's hungery? I'll feed her. Maybe she's wet or dirty? I'll change her. Maybe she's thirsty? I'll try sticking my boob into her mouth. Maybe she wants to play a bit more? We'll play. NOTHING worked! She cried during each and every one of the activities. I finally decided that I would put her in the car and see what happens (11:30). Sure enough, 3 minutes into the drive she was out! Now what??? Now, I have to drive for an hour! I have seen more of the neighboring towns than I care to! I drove and drove and drove so that the little nine month naughty girl could sleep!
I am hoping this morning naptime nightmare is all a fluke! She is currently taking her afternoon nap and sleeping like a dream!
Happy as can be BEFORE naptime!
Please excuse the yellow walls... we are stripping the wallpaper in Mya's room!
