The Simple Woman's Daybook: Wednesday ~ 2.24.10

Outside my window: Sunshine! It is cooler and a little windy, but the sun is out!
I am thinking: How proud I am of Gracie for doing so well while we ran errands this morning. She doesn't like getting in and out of her carseat, repeatedly.
I am thankful for: Gracie sleeping thru the night last night. The teething hit her hard yesterday, and the night before, but today she is doing much better. The Hubby comes home on Friday evening! We have missed having our favorite guy around here.
From the kitchen: Sadly, not much. I haven't been very motivated or inspired to cook while the hubby is gone.
I am wearing: Now that we are home, a rose colored maternity t-shirt and flannel pj bottoms. While we were out, a rose colored maternity t-shirt, jeans, and a beige zip up sweater.
I am creating: Thinking a lot about finishing up Gracie's first year album. I did get a large amount of photos ordered for this project.
I am going: No where else today. This morning: library, gas station, store, WIC appt.
I am reading: She's in a Better Place by Angela Hunt.
I am hoping: That Friday evening comes quickly and that the next two days are smooth.
I am hearing: The quietness of naptime. A little TV on for Momma.
Around the house: Books for Gracie.
One of my favorite things: Watching Gracie read books and build with blocks/Legos.
A few plans for the rest of the week: Doctor appt tomorrow and Hip-Hop-Bouncin'-House on Friday morning.
From my picture journal: 4th of July 2009. Amazing how much Gracie has changed!

Babywise Bootcamp.

We are engaged in a little Babywise boot-camp at our house. Gracie's sleeping has gotten pretty bad and we have to do something. So, we are cracking down on her. It is not easy. Listening to her cry is just about the wost thing ever. I have been following the eat-play-sleep cycle from Babywise , but not much else. I have been putting her to sleep, while she listens to the vacuum cleaner or the stove fan. She is so used to napping on me that she won't sleep in her bed during the day. So, I end up holding her for nap-time so that she will actually take a nap. She does okay in her bed at night, most of the time. In the past week she has been up twice for 2-hour stretches in the middle of the night. As much as I love her, this isn't Mommy's favorite time to hang out with Gracie. It has become quite a struggle to get her to go to sleep and stay asleep. We are experiencing too many evenings of Gracie crying because she is up too late and can't fall asleep. Last nig...

I Scrapped!

I am so excited. I made a page yesterday!: I found a sketch online and is that ever the way to go. I was able to finish this during Gracie's naptime! How awesome is that? I love naptime. =) I loved not having to sit there and figure out where to put everything. It totally took away the pressure. I used my new goodies , which was also super fun. I love having pre-coordinated stuff to choose from. I also love that it came with these . This was the first scrapbook page I have made for/of Gracie and it felt great. It was awesome to record memories for her. I am not sure if I love the sticker in between the 2 photos, but it is a sticker and it won't come off. So, it stays. Perfection is not my game, people. I liked that the sketch had a place for paper, and helped me layer the paper, and had a place for the title and journal, but that was it. So, the rub-ons across the top and the sticker were my additions. I also changed were the journaling was supposed to be. There ...

5 Months.

Our sweet Allie-Girl is 5 months! Wow. She is super sweet and super mellow. She is finally sleeping a little better. She is only getting up once at night most of the time. She can easily roll from her back to her tummy. She gets stuck on her tummy so hopefully she will quickly learn how to roll back onto her back. Since she can roll over, she likes to roll to her tummy and sleep that way. She likes rice cereal but is quite a messy eater. She weighs 17 pounds 14.2 ounces (95-97 th %). She is 26.22 inches long (90%). Her head circumference is 16.5 inches (25-50%). She is in the 90 th percentile for height and weight. She gets very chatty when she is tired. She loves her b ig sister. Gracie wore this same outfit for her 5 months photo. Go here to see the pics . I finally wrote about Gracie at 21 months. Go here to read about it.
