This halloween we have a little Mermaid (OK, not just for Halloween - she's been wearing it non-stop since I finished it earlier this month).....and a little friend. Although, I decided I didn't like little friend's costume, neither did she...... so we scratched that and created something else... to be unveiled on Halloween. (PS - she hates the 2nd one too). Why did I waste time (valuable time) making Genna two one-time-use costumes???? I can't figure that out either.
So - Genna is finally getting down to 2 naps a day. I tried pushing Maya's back so that it would coincide with Genna's 2nd...... but either that or the inevitable course of nature has determined this to be the beginning of Maya giving up naptime. For several days she has not slept, but has at least stayed in her room for a quiet time, where she has chosen to read instead. I tell her she can get up when the clock says "3". (of course I set the clock back to 1:30 when I tuck her in)...even though "naptime" has been starting at 2:30ish lately. Naptime used to begin at 1:30, so that's where she got up-at-3 engraved in her mind.
On a related note - she has been really into exercising! She likes to go on walks (not riding in the stroller) and runs the whole time. She says "we gotta work our bodies!" {I think we can thank Sid the Science Kid for this} So actually she has napped well after those workouts. Too bad the weather is going to preclude that activity soon.
Little Sis is enjoying her mashed fruits & veggies now and likes to CLAP. At her 6 month check up she was only 19+ lbs. A peanut compared to Maya! She has a prescription for more tummy time. Good luck with that.
mmmm, frozen carrot chew toy
