Bernice's sleeping pattern/problem

Went Causeway point today, and she did not sleep while outside. (read more below to find out why) So this is what happened while she and daddy was waiting for me to finish dinner.... din except her to sleep coz was just carrying her, letting her look around while waiting.

Mummy, you eat ok, i can't take it already, i sleep a while ah.

I seldom say about Bernice's sleeping pattern so i shall talk about it here. Bernice sleeping was quite a problem to us though some tell me i should be glad that she sleeps at night. Well, i am glad definitely. But of course it can be better. Problems as below:

1) She doesn't sleep face up.
If she is able to fall asleep in this position, she will wake up before you count to 10, she will be scared of any surrounding noise and be startled and wake up. Hope her courage will increase in the future though. So how does she sleep? Bottoms up. I know all the disadvantages of this position, but really no choice. only way is in the night after she fall asleep soundly, then she will be able to sleep face up for 5 to 6 hours.
2) No other place of sleeping besides bed
Due to her unique sleeping position, she cant really fall asleep when we bring her out coz in the sling, she will wake up in less than an hour. Carrying her while she is sleeping is worse, any small action and her eyes will be wide open. Haven't try the pram, coz quite sure the movement of the pram will wake her up in her face up position. hahah, may resort to putting her bottoms up in the pram. will be a funny sight... hope not to resort to that

3) Grumpy when not enough sleep
Once she doesnt get enough sleep during the day, that's it... In the evening at about 7 pm, she will be crying fiercely non stop for 15 min to half an hour. Then she will fall asleep after that.

Seems a long list, but whatever it is, she is our beloved and we will cherish whatever she is.

Some pics while we were on the bus to causeway point.

I am so sleepy, so sleepy, so sleepy...
