making progress...

LittleFish1

So we started day care last part time to get LO used to the new environment for the upcoming school year. Were told after a few days that it would be really helpful to get her to drink from something & to sleep on her own.

After much crying the last few nights (starts the moment she is put down), got it from 1+ hours to 30 mins of crying (with intermitent comforting from parents) and she fell asleep for 7 hours!

DH got our bedroom rearranged, sold the cosleeper she out maneuvered two weekends ago (along with some other infant items that have been in LOs closet, the garage & hallway). Rearranged LOs room as well (rocking chair removed & arm chair in its place. Laundry is folded but not fully away.

Has been a good weekend even though it has been plauged by a sore neck. Finally feeling like we are making progress.

Yay! Feeling like you're making progress is such an emotional booster!

it is funny how the "she's growing up" feeling suddenly hits. All along when people would say that, I'd say "good, that's what we want" however with putting our bedroom back to a more notmal furnature arrangement, it finally hit. Then being in the baby clothing secton of the store & seeing clothes that would have just started fitting her at 2 months old. Am still glad she's progressing, however now I get it.

Yay for progress!

Speaking of growing up, I was at Target and looking at clothes and was thinking about fall and what sizes I have in warm clothes, (DD1 was a summer baby) and I realized that if I was to buy anything I should get 12 month stuff. Cue freakout! I couldn't do it, so I walked away. Haha.

LO is still in a few 0-3 mo clothes and in the smaller 3-6mo items so it feels like we have a long way to go for the 12 month items we have stored away from friends.
