Silent Night

Anyone who has been around Isabella when she sleeps knows she needs three things...her pacifier, her bear, and her sound machine. Isabella had a hard time sleeping for any length of time when she was born, so we gave white noise a try. It always seemed to calm her and help her sleep for more than 15 minutes. For weeks we tuned in static on the radio while she slept. It's actually hard to keep static on a radio all night long. We'd be woken up to random programming coming through the station in the middle of the night. After a few weeks of that, we finally went out and bought a sound machine for her. It has a waterfall setting that sounds just like static. Ever since then we all (I say all because the noise comes through the monitor) have slept with static. Last night we decided to turn it off, and she did great! Much to our surprise we did not hear a peep out of her all night. The only reason I kept waking up was because I kept thinking the monitor was off. I'm not used to no sound coming out of it. She also made it through her naps today without it. And we thought she'd be carrying the sound machine with her to slumber parties. :o) I hope the pacifier is this easy to give up!
