This is a video I took recently today on my phone. The quality is REALLY bad and it's dark because Natalia was going down for a nap. She's started talking a lot lately and it's the cutest thing. Sometimes when she starts to get a little fussy it seems like she remembers she can talk and talks after a second of fussiness. Hopefully church goes well tomorrow.

Natalia has started to sleep in her bed for naps. I think she knows it's her bed and that's where she wants to go when she's tired. What a smart baby. We didn't even do anything to train her to go to sleep on her own. I was concerned about how to get her to fall asleep on her own since we used to hold her to go to sleep. A month ago she would fall asleep after nursing and whenever I put her down she'd wake right up. She would only sleep while I held her. Then gradually I started to wrap her tight while I was holding her instead of wrapping her on the bed. That seemed to help and I still do it sometimes, but now if she's tired I can wrap her while she's awake, put her in her bed, rock her for a little if she needs it, give her her pacifier if she wants it, and she goes asleep. Thank you Natalia for doing what I didn't know how to do. I've heard of several parents who let their babies cry it out to fall asleep on their own and I wasn't ready for that. I don't think I would've done it now anyway. You are the best.
