Well, since I mentioned how Marisas had been taking awesome 2 hour naps lately, she seems to have switched back to the 1 hour double nap thing. Oh well. So I figured I'd try to mess with her night sleeping schedule by bragging about that too. Lol. I still have to nurse her to sleep, which is fine with me. Sometimes if she's stubborn about that, I can cuddle her to sleep instead, and I've been trying to do that more often. But once she's asleep, she sleeps for at least 9 hours straight. She hardly ever wakes up in the night, and if she does, she falls back to sleep immediately after nursing. When she wakes up in the morning, I take her into bed with me, and she nurses half asleep for 15-20 minutes while I wake up more. It's pretty great. Except for the fact that she doesn't go to sleep at night til 10:30-11:00pm. Not exactly sure why, but I still don't think she's quite ready to CIO for an 8pm bedtime. So I guess I'm just a sucker by letting her set her own bedtime. Hehe. Actually, sometimes if she's being really stubborn, I let her cry for 5 mintues or so, and she usually falls asleep pretty quickly. If she doesn't fall asleep within 5 minutes, I try another method. But for now, what we're doing works, and I'm not going to mess with that.
Food, however, is another story. I would like to share with everyone the pickiness of my daughter. The other day this is what I offered her for lunch:
- peaches
- green beans
- pasta/corn/peas (Gerber toddler meal)
- freeze dried corn
- yogurt
- hot dog (tiny pieces)
- baby cereal (we had it leftover from "baby days")
- diced ham
- freeze dried apples
- cheesy rice cake
- baby goldfish
- garlic bread
- tortilla with chicken salad in it
Wanna know what she actually ate for lunch that day? 5 bites of yogurt. 5. Bites. That's it. She usually loves everything else! Some days I just don't understand. But then we just had peas at dinner the other night, and all of a sudden, she ate TONS of peas! Then the next day refused them again. Anybody understand this? Lol. Seriously, this girl is crazy. But we love her
