And the winner is...

Elli!!  She is officially our worst sleeper.  What a title, right?  Alivia slept though the night at 3 months.  Adalyn at 7 1/2 months.  And here we sit at over 7 1/2 months and she hasn't done it yet.  In fact, she's not even close.  She was an awful sleeper in utero.  Pretty much twenty four hours a day, she was making some type of movement.  It got to the point where I wondered if she kicked and punched in her sleep!!  It seriously never stopped.

However, I'm willing to give her the benefit of the doubt.  You see, she was actually a fairly good sleeper for the first 3 months.  She would often pull off a good five hour stretch at times (she generally can't even do a three hour stretch anymore).  It all changed when she started noticing the world around her more.  She became too curious.  And that right there is our problem.  She's too stinking nosey to eat during the day!!  When she's home, she's too busy watching her big sisters.  And when she's at daycare, I don't know exactly what the problem is, but it's not unheard of for her to only take 4oz (average is 6-8oz) the entire ten hours I'm away from her!  So then she has to tank up at night to make up for not eating much during the day.

The other problem is that the poor girl has had a cold for at least 3 months, but I think it might now be closer to 4 months.  She has such a hard time breathing when she's laying down and when she coughs, she startles herself awake.  Despite being sick all the time and not getting nearly enough sleep for a baby her age, she sure is a happy little girl!  It's almost scary to think about how happy this child would be if she was healthy and getting 10 hours of sleep at night!!
