Currently Sleeping - hence the reason I am writing this blog:)
I know so many factors play into a babies sleep patterns and there are tons of sleep theories like:
- moving to one nap
- teething
- overtired
- over stimulated
- sick
- bored etc...
Even though the lack of control drives me crazy I have chosen to just go with the flow and not spend too much time stressing over the subject. After all I really am at her mercy and I can't complain about a baby who sleeps such long hours at night.
I tend to write about the smaller details of my life because I love reading these types of things about others. Her are a few of them: Gianna is officially only eating table food. She does not want me to spoon feed her and waves her hands in front of her face when I try. Today I have started introducing vitamin D milk by putting a small amount in her bottle with her formula.
I really love being a mom and at times I feel like I can't wait to have a second baby but then I go hang out with someone who has two kids and I think to myself what am I thinking. It's a challenge being a working mom of one let alone two!Lastly, Mr. F and I went on a date Monday night. Our dear friends Jeff and Mickey took care of G for a couple of hours so we could go out. We had the best time together and we were both reminded of how much we enjoy each other's company. It's so easy to forget how much you enjoy your spouse when you get caught up in the monotony of daily life and raising a child. We are going to make date night more of a priority as we are both convinced that the strength of our marriage will greatly affect the emotional health of our children.

Love this post, Julie! You've probably heard this but the greatest gift we can give to our kids is a healthy, loving marriage. We try to make date nights a priority too. Our goal is to have 2-3 date nights a month. BTW, I hear you about the sleep schedule. Drives me crazy! And I love the pictures you posted below. Such fun, great shots!
My little one has been pretty inconsistent lately with her naps. Most routine flies out the door when you're baby #3. I'm having to ease up too and remind myself, she'll sleep when she needs to. As for having more kids...I will say, that in my experience, as a working mom, the 3yr age difference is great! #1 was potty-trained, still took naps, could communicate well, able to walk and not always need a stroller, help and fetch things for new baby etc.
