Our recent Kiddie Kandids photo shoot.  Jessie was so good for this shoot!  She's actually been asking to go to KK every time we're in BRU - but she's been sick.  I told her when she felt better we'd go.  Her 2nd b-day is in 5 weeks so I'll take her again for her official 2 Y/O shoot.

I can't figure it out. 

I really need to keep my journal updated.  I'm going to start by doing a post that is actually not about Sleep training!  Well - maybe a little update, but then other stuff...

Sleep
So the sleeping issues are much better.  She has slept through the night almost every day this week which is a miracle!  I never thought I'd:
A. Get her out of my bed
B. ( Read more... )

Sleep Training Night 3

8:15
down

3:40am - 4:15am
She woke - I gave her the bottle in her room and put her down. She had a tough time settling - so I had to rub her back for 10 minutes. The whole thing took 35 min.

6:15am
Awake for the day

I'm pleased so far but not yet declaring victory. She hasn't cried and protested the way she did the first night so ( Read more... )

Night 2
Last night was better than the first.  But as an added bonus she woke up yesterday morning with a lovely cold.  She had no fever so I'm pressing on with the sleep training.

Down in crib

11:30PM - 11:40pm
She woke up calling for me.  I went in, gave her some bottle and she was back down in 10 minutes!

I heard a couple of "mommy's"  and saw ( Read more... )

I spoke to my pediatricians assistant yesterday.   She told me to worry about the bottles last. She told me to start by keeping Jessie in her room at night. She said when Jess wakes in the middle of the night to go into her room and give her the bottle (that I usually give her in my bed) in the chair in her room (the same place we do the night- ( Read more... )

So I posted a few weeks back about our sleep woes.  I tabled any further training until after we returned from our trip (as I knew her schedule would be affected).  This Thursday, I plan to start training again.  My proble mis that DH can not deal with the crying in the middle ofthe night.  He wants to run to her and bring her into our bed.  This ( Read more... )

We made it to Florida.  Jessie was great on the plane except for the last 10 minutes.  She hated descending!  She had her arms wrapped around my neck and her head buried in my neck and she kept repeating "I'm OK" to herself.  Like she was trying to talk herself out of being scared!  It was crazy.

So my Aunt and Uncle are so happy that we're ( Read more... )

I'm off to Florida tomorrow.  First time we're traveling on a plane with Jessie.  Wish me luck!!!!!!!!!!!

So.... no party for Jessica today.  She'll have to wait to experience bowling.... She's sneezing like crazy.  So we'll stay in again today and play toys, watch Dora and do laundry ( Read more... )
