What a big fifth week Annabelle Montgomery had! As many of you know Anne Marie has suffered from some acid reflux these past weeks. It has made it very difficult for her to calm down enough to catch some really good zz's. However that all changed when we were introduced to Dr. Karp (aka the baby whisper.) Our doctor recommended his DVD "The Happiest Baby on the Block." Dr. Karp believes that the first three months of a baby's life are their "fourth trimester" and that everything they do is a reflex. Within this "reflex" ideal Dr. Karp has created the "calming reflex." These are things we can do to help baby calm down. They consist of the 5 S's and they work miracles! The first day we tried these techniques Anne Marie calmed in less than a minute! She was able to sleep longer and deeper than she ever had before! It was (and continues) to be amazing to me. After the first 24 hours I was such a believer that I vowed that this DVD would be my staple shower gift for every expecting mommy and daddy...so if your prego (Frisch) sorry to ruin the surprise. Besides being able to sleep better (5 1/2 hours one night) Annabelle did some other pretty amazing things. She slept in her own room
from Tuesday night on and she rolled from her belly to her back!!! I have another video above for you to check out...it's much shorter but it does show Annabelle's talents! Sleeping in her own room has provided the entire family better sleep. It was very hard the first night...I felt like I was so far away from her but it did get easier once I realized that she was truly OK and that it was best for everyone (especially daddy who has to get up very early for work.) Here are a few snoozy pictures from Annabelle's fifth week of life. I just don't know how I am going to cope going back to work with this adorable baby in our lives. Thank goodness for summer vacation!
