I hope everyone has a great day. DD woke up at 5 but by some miracle she fell back asleep while I nursed her in bed. She slept till 7:30 that is a first.
aggiebug same here! O has been pooping like clockwork at 5am and then thinking he should be up. I changed him and tried to get him back to sleep. My husband laid him next to him in bed just to hang out and O fell asleep. I wish I had a picture of them sharing the pillow!

Happy 4th of July!
Yay for sleeping babies! DS woke up around 3 or so last night, but I was to sleepy to get up right away. We both ended up falling back to sleep and he didn't wake up again until 5:45 to eat. Put him back down after he ate and he slept till 8:00. I pray we are turning some sleep corner and he'll start doing this more often.
DD just went down for her morning nap without a single whimper, I'm so excited! I'm hoping the rest of her naps are this painless (or at least shorter crying than yesterday, her morning naps were always the only reliable one).
I wonder why she wants her morning nap so early though. She sleeps from 9 until 7, and was showing sleepy signs as early as 8:30. I put her down at 8:45. My only guess is she's waking before 7, but isn't making any noise until later.
I just need to gloat on my H. After being a big jerk face yesterday he is super fantastic today. He ran to the store to pick on cinnamon rolls because I mentioned they would sound good. AND he looked for Not Your Father's Root Beer which we couldn't find at Wegmans yesterday. Safeway had it! So he came home with cinnamon rolls and beer.
Morning. Sitting in the nursery drinking coffee while DD fights her morning nap. Since I have nothing to do this morning, I figured I'd try some "nap training".
missys Ah that makes sense. I keep thinking that DD should be down to two long naps and one catnap in the late afternoon, but she definitely isn't ready for that yet. Who am I to judge for 'too many' naps?
Maybe DD just isn't a morning person, just like her dad (and how her mom used to be pre-pregnancy).
Nap training fail. I've already picked her up. I suck at this :/
I'm with you. I read sugahcookie01 's post on the sleepeasy solution and I was like, yeah, I'm going to do this and try to start getting rid of the paci to sleep today (btw sugah I'm totally going to pick up that book so thanks). I go to put him down for the nap and he starts bitching and I put the paci in because it will already be a long day and night with the 4th celebrations and fireworks. #weakmomma

Real talk--sleep training is f'in hard. My baby made me into a big softie. I would be a complete failure if it wasn't for H being the voice of reason and taking over at night. I keep on repeating to myself that this is best for long term-no more short term solutions!
Lesson learned: lactation cookies really work. Don't make them just for fun if you've already got good milk supply and don't pump. Milk everywherrrrrrrrrre!

You can do it!
Thank you for the words of encouragement! The other thing that makes it hard is our lifestyle. I hate the premise that she should be napping at the same time every day and get on a schedule. It's just hard on the weekends to do that with family and friend commitments :/
My child is celebrating the injustices of taking naps-- daycare doesn't mention that she FIGHTS daytime naps!
Happy 4th everyone! Definitely my FAVORITE holiday! No family expectations! No gifts! Just fun outfits and fireworks and food!
this is my 2ND favorite holiday for that reason! My fisrt favorite is Halloween! Again, no family expectations, just cute costumes and all the candy!!!
My in-laws have no bad intentions, but sure... Come on over. H's brother is also in town and coming. I had to text his brother yesterday afternoon and ask if his new boyfriend was coming also. He was like yeah, and my friend Tyler. Awesome... Now there are 5 people coming over two of whom are strangers. I joked to his brother, gee I hope I have enough food! His response was, 'Oh my mom is bringing hamburgers and buns.' Cuz that's all you need for a bbq right?
H is nervous about this whole thing, because he's never met a boyfriend nonetheless one with his Vietnam combat veteran father. His dad just tends to say whatever he wants and honestly knows no better. This should be very interesting. I'm trying to be nonchalant about the whole thing (even though I'm kind of pissed that his mom just invited herself and four other people over my house at the last minute) to put H's nerves at ease.
