Update!

So Last night Vanessa Wilde (formally Musson) scolded me for not writing on my blog enough. I told her that I simply don't do it that much because we are a boring little family and I often have nothing to talk about. However, just for Vanessa I will post today! I hope you are happy Van.

Thankfully, I do have something to write about today.

I feel like lately I have been getting the hang of this being a "Mom" thing. Spencer and I made it through the sleep training, and it wasn't bad at all! The longest she ever cried was 16 mins! pretty amazing right? I had heard horror stories of babies crying for hours upon hours...not my little munchkin! Mind you, those 16 mins were the longest of my life, it was worth it in the end.

  As we speak Grace is doing this-

 

Now I realize to lots of you, this is no big deal...

But to us this is a HUGE deal!

You see the only way I have ever been able to get her to nap is to put her in her swing.

She is now getting too big for the swing though,

sooooo,

Mommy had to figure this out.

I decided that she needed a "cue" to know that it was time for a nap.

At bedtime this is a bath and a bottle,

but we didn't have one for naptime,

the swing would just rock her to sleep.

So I thought, and I thought.

I figured I would read her a book and rock in the rocking chair for a minute with her.

We have been doing this for a couple days now.

Today I decided to try it,

and well, you saw the proof that it worked!

I'm feeling pretty good about myself right now!

On a side note.

Grace got her Christmas present from her cousin Izacc yesterday.

Here is an adorable picture of her with all her new stuff.

P.S Can I just mention that Izacc didn't make all this,

but my amazing sister in-law did, plus a lot more than what you see in the picture.

She is pretty much an amazing seemstress and should charge people money!

  Oh I almost forgot to mention that she slept for 12 hours last night! 

Yup, that's right...

8pm till 8am!
