Frankie - 4 (and a bit) months

Our bub is growing up more and more. She is proving to be more stubborn and strong willed than Piper at the same age, and yet she is also the happiest baby I have ever known.

Stubborn Frankie stopped sleeping through the night several weeks ago, she now likes to wake anywhere between 3am and 6am. Sometimes she will gurgle, take her dummy and go back to sleep, sometimes she will want  feeding, and other times we wake to Frankie laughing and squealing with happiness in her bed..... at 3:30am! But the real issue is that several nights a week she does not settle back to sleep, instead she wants to play and chat and giggle for hours.
Last weekend at 4am poor Naz was out with the pram cutting laps of the lake in the middle of a sand storm!

It is nothing but a phase but OMG the shock and difficulty of going from an 11hr a night sleeping baby, back to broken sleep is horrible (not to mention I have to get up and go to work each day).

In the meantime she continues to crack us up daily, surprise us with her strength (she has rolling over and over down to an art now) and melt our hearts.

We have a special guest arriving in just a few more sleeps to stay for a few weeks. I am going to love sharing our growing Frankie with more family members and Piper could not be more excited - so do NOT miss that flight Grandpa!!!!
