Last night was one long night around here. Elliana just didn’t want to sleep at all last night, so I was up most of the night watching her look around with wide eyes.

She didn’t sleep all day yesterday, so I guess it’s just one of those things that happens from time to time. No matter what we did she didn’t want to sleep. The few times she did sleep it was only for about 30 minutes at a time.

She still hasn’t taken a decent nap. When I lay her down she stairs at the ceiling grunting and cooing as long as I leave her there. She may fall asleep for a short time, but she definitely isn’t staying asleep. So much for hoping to nap today!

I’m just hoping if she’s been awake this much she’ll crash hard tonight. I remember my friend who’s son is now 7 months old going through the wide awake nights complaining that she’d tried everything to get her son to sleep.

I look at it like this. I’m just thankful she hasn’t been fussy all night. She’s been wide awake, smiling, and exploring everything with her eyes. It’s like there’s so much to take in she’s afraid if she goes to sleep she’ll miss something!
