Day 135: Sleeping

I really need to figure out how to transition Eis from sleeping in the swing.  I hate that she sleeps in there and won't sleep anywhere else.  She used to just sleep in the if she were insanely fussy, but it grew to where she would fuss and fuss until I put here in it.

However, now, she'll fuss even in that when she's tired.  I feel like if she's going to fuss and cry, she might as well sleep in the crib.  I don't really want to put her in the sleeper because it seems like her legs get all bunched up.  However, she doesn't like to lay flat, so I don't know what to do.  Perhaps, I should look into a crib wedge.

Or maybe I should just do more research.

I didn't get to go to Zumba today because there was no one here to watch Eis.  Usually Mom does it, but she's in Maui until Saturday.  I won't get to go tomorrow because I never get to go on Tuesdays.  I did get to shower today, though, which was nice.  I also gave Eis a bath because I think if I bathe her more often, her cradle cap will subside... or at least that's what one website suggested.

I've been putting BioOil on her head -- like Palmer's Oil -- and rubbing it it, then letting it sit for 20 minutes before her bath.  Unfortunately, I have reactions to it touching my skin.  I accidentally let her head touch my chest the other day and I had an itchy rash for a couple days.  Today, I put a towel around her head, so it wouldn't touch me.  Luckily, it doesn't matter if my hands touch the oil, plus I wash it off, right after I rub it into her scalp.

Tomorrow should be cool, so perhaps I can walk Eis around the street more than twice.  I'll have to go fairly early, too, so I don't miss talking to Tyler.

On a final note... I can't wait until Eisley sleeps longer than four hours and goes to sleep without so much fuss.
