What's up?!

[cnf2013]

Ellie and I are having a mommy daughter day. I'm looking forward to it even though it's mostly running errands.

[geners]

C was up a hundred times last night. The last few days the nanny has been here, he's hardly napped, so he has been an overtired, cranky mess when we've gotten home and then slept poorly. He needs better naps, I'm not sure what the issue is. Bah.

I'm getting a new phone today, yay! The newer version (iPhone 7) but less storage. We added me to MH's plan, saving a bunch of money, but a condition was I had to get a new phone - it's free, but I'm bummed about the storage. I need to get better about deleting pictures - like when I take 8 photos of C to get one good one, I need to start deleting the 7 that are no good - so I'm not always running out of space.

geners prime has free photo storage, unlimited I think. Download the app to your phone and back them up so you can delete

Hi ladies. Xxoo I've got some catching up to do.

H has a half day today! So we're going to get our Christmas tree later. I'm having fun seeing all the online shopping deals roll in.

We are trying to transition the baby to one nap and she is being a monster about it. Holy cranky. I'm hoping her nap will lengthen a bit but so far that hasn't happened. Also having a hard time figuring out when to feed her since she's going down for her nap at the time I was feeding her lunch. She's also been going down for bed at 6 so that's super inconvenient with dinner. Blah.

Getting two new teeth in as well which brings her up to 8 teeth!

Also Google Photos (my favorite), Shutterfly, and the Verizon Cloud (assuming most other carriers also offer a cloud). I use way too many back up options, but it came in handy when my old Galaxy decided to delete all of the pictures on my phone back in May.

geners, Iz was up 3 times last night, she has been STTN. It didn't help that I was up until 12:30 packing the car, doing laundry, and wrapping birthday presents.

Ugh! Yeah C has been sleeping really well - not quite STTN, but better than he has in ages. But these last few nights after he's been with her all day and hasn't napped well, have been disasters. It's frustrating b/c she's really great with him so I don't know what's going on. He's napping fine for us.

How is your nanny working out, btw?

[geners]

byjove , I have the Prime app on my phone and have backed up photos once or twice, but not since C was a few months old. I honestly completely forgot about it. I'm going to do that right now and start fresh on my new phone!

She is fantastic! I'm so sad she'll be leaving in a few weeks . she was in the area for 12 weeks, her H is a traveling PT, so she just picks-up babysitting/nannying where ever they end up to keep herself busy. I'm not she what we're going to do when she's done, I'm hoping we might get a daycare slot (we're somewhere on the waitlist for all daycares in the area). 

[geners]

gdaisy09, that's awesome that she's been working out so well! Hopefully a daycare slot opens up soon!
