not coherent...

...from lack of sleep. poor little percy ain't doing so well. this was the regime last nite:

7:00pm: to bed pretty much asleep before her head hit the mattress
7:40pm: wake up crying, turn into inconsolable screaming- i took her to bed with me; no success, dummy; no success, rocking and singing and bouncing; finally success
8:25pm: back to sleep
10:00pm: settle in cot
11:00pm: breastfeed, back to sleep in cot immediately
1:30am: settle in cot
3:00am: breastfeed, back to sleep in cot immediately
5:30am: settle in cot
6:30am wake for day, clapping, talking quietly, clicking tongue in cot
6:50am: paul got her up.

i really can't think what is causing this, nor what to do to make her sleep longer periods. i suppose i ought to be thankful that she goes back to sleep after the breastfeeds immediately. and perhaps i shouldn't have put her down at 7pm for all intents and purposes asleep. i could have woken her a little and read a story before placing her in her cot. would this have changed anything? i have my doubts... she's been waking earlier in the evening for four nites running now. nite before last it was
8:45pm, before that 9:15pm. maybe we'll get it back to 7pm and then it won't matter! ha ha.

it's lucky she is so cute and adorable when she's awake during the day because she's pushing the friendship at nite!
