First Time In My Crib

Guess who took a nap today for the first time in her own crib?  It took us all afternoon, but she eventually fell asleep for about 45 minutes.  We just got our baby monitor yesterday and I had fun trying it out.  We have one that shows a picture of her and it makes me feel SO much better to be able to see her.  I was cleaning up around the house and I heard her whimpering, but instead of going in her room I could just look at the monitor and see that she was trying to soothe herself by sucking on her fingers so I didn't bother going in.  I almost gave up, but glad I didn't. Hopefully she will get better and better at this.  We'll eventually mount the camera somewhere instead of having it in the crib and I only put blankets on her like this for naps when I can see her. Currently she is half sleeping in her pack n play and half with me at night.  I start her out in her own "mini" bed and when she stirs like crazy and won't go back to sleep I put her in bed with me and she's immediately asleep. I'm glad she's learning to sleep on her own, but it makes me SO sad too.  It was weird  because today I could have put her in her swing and then we could have played as soon as she got up, but I gave up my selfish ways to train her to sleep on her own:(  Our baby is growing up!
