The 30 Day Shred!!!

Tomorrow marks day one of the 30 day shred. A couple of my friends on facebook and some of the girls in my office have all committed to do this 20 minute workout for the month of April. I have already done the level one workout once and I was very sore after. I will keep you posted.

Mohawk Morning

Every morning in the Smith house we would give the "hairdo" award to the person who had the most messed up hair. Today Gianna was given the "Hairdo" award for the first time. Check out her Mohawk.

Adventures of a 1st time Mom - THE FLOATER

Gianna did something tonight that I knew would happen eventually but I hoped Mr. F would be the one to experience it first. She was having a fun time in the bath tub when I noticed a look of intensity came upon her face. The grunting and heavy breathing started and sure enough she was doing her business and out came a poop. I pulled her out of the bath so that she would not be sitting in poop water and put her down on her towel. I ran to get a wipe and I got there just in time to catch the rest of the poop that followed. Poop ended up on her leg and all over her towel. I was laughing thinking of all the funny things that happen when you are a mom. I love all of these adventures even the stinky messy ones!

Six Months

Gianna Joy Feliccia

6 Months Old

16 lbs 5oz - 59th percentile

27.5" - 97th percentile



Grabs anything she can get her hands on, rolling over, sleeps 12.5 hours a night, screams in delight, loves to eat and is the joy of my life. I had no idea I could love someone this much.

Blog Mammas - I need some advice

Gianna has been sleeping through the night since she was probably 2 months old but last week she started waking up at either 2, 3 or 4am. I have been going in and feeding her but it is really taking a toll on me. I am so exhausted! I was thinking about this yesterday and it seems that if she was sleeping through the night before there is no reason she needs to be eating more now. I put her down somewhere between 6:30 and 7:15 every night. Then I do a dream feed about 3 hours later and she drinks almost an entire bottle. She used to sleep until 6 or 7 a.m. but for the past 9 days I have been getting up and feeding her in the early morning. Happy Child Healthy Sleep Habits says it is still normal for them to wake up and feed twice a night. But she was sleeping through the night and I am afraid I am allowing her to form a really bad habit of waking up. She will be 6 months on the 16th.

I might let her cry it out tonight. Maybe go in and give her a binky or rock her back to sleep??? Anyone have any advice?

Thanks!
