4AM and she's still sleeping

It's almost 4AM here and Kate is still sleeping. We started to try to get her to fall aslepp around 7:30PM and she fell asleep enought for us to put her in the crib around 8PM. She's slept thru until now without even a stir. She's tossed and turned in the last hour and has done a 180 degree turn and is now at the other end of the crib. Some baby goos and gaahs from her too.

Feeding has gone well but the bottle has given us a bit of grief. She's munched down a package of Baby Mum-Mum's (a rice cracker thing) and a bunch of pear mush and some congee (like a rice porridge) but she hast really take to the bottle. We'll try again when she wakes up as she should be hungry enough for it then.

I havent heard any of the other babies tonight so we may have all gotten a good nights sleep.

The last 2 families are getting their babies this afternoon around 2 and the rest of us are heading to a large department store for supplies today. Some people were there yesterday and said that it was busier than Walmart at Christmas.

Here's a couple more pics and a short video.

Kate and I after we've been back for a while. At this point we're able to sit down with her. For the first few hours we could only stand with her.

It sure looks like she doesn't know what to make of the funny looking man with the camera in front of his face!! LOL! But at least she'll take your offerings!! She looks adorable and I'm sure you'll be getting some smiles in no time! I am jealous of the sleep thing though. Our CQ Angel still believes in taking three bottles in the night. Ugh!
 
So it sounds like you have been up all night watching her...? I'm not a parent, but I THINK the reason people get excited about their children sleeping through the night is so they can sleep too :). I can't believe how she's clinging to you in the pictures...it's so cool...like she's always been with you!

Wow, sleeping 8 pm until 4 am is fantastic. From the pictures and video it seems like you three have been together forever, she seems to be dealing ok.
