Magic Suit Weaning

A few months ago, I posted a review of the Merlin Magic Sleep Suit. It has done wonders for Rory's night sleep, but she is beginning to outgrow it, and rather than order the next size, Marcos and I decided to wean her from the suit. (The fact that it's been about 1,000 degrees here the past few days only validated our decision, as the Merlin Magic Sleep Suit is basically a super padded snow suit.) I was convinced that she would resist the sleepsac and have difficulty falling asleep, but she's adapted quite well. Or so I thought.
 I was so tired last night that I apparently slept through Rory and Marcos' play date. But, don't worry, I got the play-by-play this morning. According to Marcos, it went something like this:

Around 10 pm, Rory rolled over onto her belly and proceeded to make cute cooing noises.

Five minutes later her cooing noises turned to cries because Rory hasn't quite figured out how to roll from her belly to her back.

So, Marcos went to her nursery and helped her get back into sleeping position.

Just as Marcos returned to bed and closed his eyes, he heard her cute cooing noises (Apparently the cooing noises became decreasingly cute as the night went on) and looked into the camera to see Rory once again on her belly.

This carried on until about 11pm when she finally fell back asleep. Luckily, Marcos took a picture so we will never forget her first night sans sleepsuit. (No matter how hard we try.)

What? You're the one who's always insisting that I do tummy time.
