Hi Everyone! After getting caught up last night I had another 2 pages to read tonight. Wow we are chatty ladies! :wink:
Anyhow, Kate 585, congrats on your cutie winning an award, and no I will not throw darts at you!
Judy-it was so funny I was going to post the same thing asking about who your Avatar was-someone read my mind! In all of your spare time you should update it so we can see all 4 of the girls.
Arwyns Mom-glad to hear you're going more with the flow for naps. I think it will make you guys happier. I agree though with the first nap being so important. Yesterdya she only slept for 1 hour for her 1st nap and then ended up having short naps the rest of the day and then needed an hour catnap at 6 pm! She still went down by 8 though and settled fine.
Jo-I would def. treat the early morning feed as a night feed because I read in some other book that if you play with them they will quickly get accustomed to that beign the start of the day.
Little Bears Mum-I wonder if your lo is teething? I hope the homeopathic stuff works out for you. My SIL went to a baby chiropractor for nephews reflex and it was gone within 2 months as opposed to the 6 months diagnosis the ped. said.
Lisa-glad your lo is doing better!
Traci-I have got to get that book! It sounds great and the quotes you listed make a lot of sense and are encouraging. I think a little bit of fussing is quite normal before bedtime, so don't worry. In fact in the American Academy of Pediatrics book it says fussing of up to 20 min. before bed is totally normal.
:arrow: So like I said I QUIT today!! I work for St. John (we just recently hired Angelina Jolie to be our spokesmodel!!!), a clothing company in california and I actually love my job a lot as an Account Manager. But it does require frequent trips to NYC and a lot of long hours and an hour commute both ways every day. So I decided to stay hoem but I will be working for/with DH a few hours a day with his business. He started his own company this year as a Network Engineer, and it has gone better than expected. But now he can't grow it any larger because he is too busy doing paper work when he should be out working, so I will help him with that! I am very excited but also NERVOUS about $$$$ :? :? I have faith though that we will make it work!
my next post I am going to list Taylor's schedule, as aside from a few night wakings once or twice a week, overall it is working out well for us. We just recently changed her bedtime routine and made her bedtime at 8 pm and it seems to have helped.
But for now this post is too long and I have to go to bed! Have a good night everyone!
Andrea
