Sleep Signals

When Laine was first born, I read a book regarding sleeping patterns and babies. I was concerned when I first read about sleep cues and we were having a tough time deciphering Laine's. At around five months, however, things changed. Her early sleepy signs are very clear to us now. The thumb finds the mouth, and she starts grabbing at any fabric available. Take her to her crib and she will drift off sucking on her thumb until she is totally asleep. The sleepsack (a wearable blanket) is also a requirement. She pulls her legs up to her face and hangs on to the fabric. I think we have a potential blankie owner in her.
