Sleeping Beauty????.......
Well I'm not sure what has happened to my little girl that goes to bed on time and sleeps right through the night... This new little girl that lives with us... likes to stay up way past her bed time and on the nights that she does go to bed on time... she likes to wake up around 3:00 a.m. thinking that it's time to get up and party! I am hoping this is just a phase... I was always amazed at how our daughter started sleeping right through the night around 6 weeks old... perhaps she's taking after her Mother and afraid that she's going to miss out on something~

Finding

Well today I had the reminder of how important it is to find time for "me"... I seem to be in the vicious cycle right now of having a hard time managing "me" time.  It seems that when I'm able to find this time it's after Madison goes to bed... this would be taking away from my "rest" time. This is happening day after day which I am finding has finally caught up and taken it's toll on me.  I'm wore out and exhausted and feeling guilty at the same time that I'm needing a break. My Husband is awesome... offering whatever it is that I need... problem is I'm not exactly sure what that is. We schedule time for doctor appointments, hair appointments, etc..., etc... I do believe that I'm going to have to schedule some "me" time.

My name is Trish.  I am a happily married mother of a beautiful one year old daughter.

After spending the last year getting used to being a new mother, enjoying all the firsts, discovering what worked and what didn't... I thought I'd share with you some of the products that I just couldn't do without and routines that I laid in place that have made raising my daughter an absolute joy.

What's New?
Madison (20 Months) Is counting from 1 to 10.... Is it normal for a child to be able to count before she's even 2 years old? Smile

Madison (17 months) has a new trick... turning the door knob and opening the laundry room door!!  Time for some more baby-proofing!!  Laughing

Madison (15 months) has Baby Einsten Alphabooks... which she absolutely adores.  (Individual books with each letter of the alphabet).  My Husband and I are both amazed at how we can ask her where a specific letter is and she'll pick up the book with the letter that we've asked for.  It started out with her knowing 3 or 4 letters... we now think she pretty much knows them all.  I plan to see if they have number books like these.

Madison (14 months) will now let you know when she's ready for bed/nap by leading you down the hallway to her bedroom... "Priceless"!!

My daughter (13 months) has just started walking... it's so wonderful to see her so excited with each little step she takes.
