Bedtime Bliss

My girl is sleeping on her own right now, something that has been remarkably easy for us transitioning to the past few months.  I knew before she was born I'd never be a CIO mama, but it's seriously gratifying to see the results from AP lifestyle.  There's no crying and screaming before bed, there's no crying and screaming at night, there are only a handful of times when I've spent any time out of bed with her (unable to get her back to sleep) and that hasn't happened for 3 or 4 months now. 

Did a million errands today and started our garden.  Seems Olivia is quite sensitive on her feet.  I can't get shoes on her for anything, and setting her on the grass today totally weirded her out.  Not sure what to make of this...

Also, while out on errands I came across a ton of copies of Baby Wise at Marden's.  Left without finishing browsing.  Not that I think folks should necessarily seek out parenting advice from a discount store, but it always surprises me to see that book still being sold.  Next to it was Toddler Wise...I shudder to think...

On the go...

I haven't posted for awhile because the action just doesn't stop over here.  Since my last post, Olivia is officially walking, and even a bit of running (on purpose or not, it's still fast)! 

She waves hello, goodbye, signs for more, gives air kisses and plays peekaboo.  She runs up and gives me hugs.  This is probably the best thing in the universe.

Currently she is shoving her toys out the cat door.  Oh, wait now they are in the dog's water dish.  No time to post, but I'll put pictures up soon!
