Well when she has good naps and isn't wakiing early this is our routine when she wakes early she may need to go down earlier for first nap and I adjust to try and get it back to a normal day
Nothing new that I can think of, she has been rolling from belly to back for quite some time and she rolled from back to belly for first time yesturday but this early morning wake started before that....as I said sometimes she does fine sleeps all night then few days later she may wake early for a few days then back to all night

Kiss her tell her we love her, say nigh' night see you in the morning sleep good. And we leave.
