Baby Leia's milestones: Rolling to sleep!

Before Leia's bedtime, I usually start her night routine half an hour. I will put her on our bed and read her 2 bedtime stories: The going to bed book and Goodnight moon. Then I will let her roll around our bed for quiet play. Sometimes she likes to crawl around the bed and slam herself against our soft mattress lol. When it's close to her sleep time, I will carry her and sing her 'somewhere over the rainbow'. When she looks very sleepy, I will then put her in her cot, switch off the light and leave the room so that she can fall asleep.

For the first time ever, last night Leia just rolled around on our bed and fell asleep on her own! Without me carrying her and singing! I think she was really tired hehe. She was playing with her pjs and hands... Starting at our light and then, her eyes started to close. It was so funny. And it was such a pleasant experience because there was no crying involved at all! I wish she could do this every night!

Anyways, it didn't happen tonight. She was so full of energy and kept playing for such a long time. And she didn't want me to carry her and stop her play time! She started crying and struggling so much -.- Had to just put her down and let her sleep on own. Sigh. Hopefully she learns to fall asleep rolling again!
