Sleep needs

I find it amazing that some kids can sleep from 7 pm to 7 am the next day!

For some reason, I think my kids must have lower sleep needs or something. I used to put Annika to bed for the night at 630 pm, but over the past few months it has gradually been pushed past 7 pm. She refuses to feed or go down before that, unless she has not been given any more naps after her afternoon one. And even then, she would wake up to feed early if put down before 7.

Now we try to put her down before 8pm, and she would wake at 7. Recently though, she's been waking for the day at 630am! Even though I try and feed her quietly in the hope that she would go back to sleep, she protests and refuses to fall back asleep! Argh! I only hope she doesn't wake at 6 am!

BUT! Annika is super cute right now. She babbles so much, we think she is actually talking already! I stopped giving her solids regularly now, since I think she was getting indigestion and waking at 3am from it. Poor baby though, she looks so frustrated when she watches us all have breakfast every morning. Sometimes I give her scrapings of banana and she gobbles it up so quickly!

I still cannot believe Madison was heavier than Annika at the same age. Guess all kids eat differently. Annika is slightly longer though.

Well, we are off to Bintan tomorrow. We still haven't sorted out the mess with MH yet, so I don't know how things are going to be. Sigh.
