It's been quite a week around here. I can't believe what a difference 5 weeks makes. Tristyn has really become a different baby this week. I mean she's practically off to college. OK maybe not, but seriously, she's so much more alert now. Tasha came to see her yesterday and Tristyn just stared into her eyes, studying her face for quite some time.
Now that she can maneuver her neck around she is free to explore her surroundings a bit more. I think all this visual exploration has expended a lot of energy because both Friday night and Saturday night she slept through the night. Both times she casually woke up at 4 or 4:30 to eat, then was wide awake cooing like crazy for about 2 hours before taking a cat nap. I say cat nap literally, because Kitty XL has roughly the same schedule each morning, which he usually likes to spend outside. Since we were up I brought him in, and the two of them co-napped. They're doing the same today as I type this.
Even though she slept 2 full nights in a row a few weeks ago I'm pretty confident this is the real deal here. She can handle more milk at one feeding so she stays satisfied longer - therefore no banshee screaming 1.2 seconds after she decides to wake up. I just wish she would have told me her plans because I was waiting up for her all night Friday. I kept thinking to myself "any minute now" as I was literally staring at her face wondering when she'd wake - but she just kept sleeping. I'm crossing my fingers for a restful night for everyone tonight!
