Weekend Recap

Things have been a little chaotic around our place lately. I'll tell you more about that later this week.

Saturday we took Jessy to play at the playground... can I just say I have the biggest daredevil child of all time?  Nothing scares her.

Yes I sacrificed her to get this shot.  I knew I wasn't going to catch her but it would be worth it! She's fine... really.

Sunday morning we did our pancakes... Jessy LOVES mixing the batter, scrambling eggs, whatever you can do with that little whisk!

Last night she was fine and then all of a sudden she started running a fever that went up a degree every 20 minutes.  Yes I was scared. Haven't really slept yet and got up at 5am for work.  Life of a mom.

Happy Valentines Weekend!

My little lover...

This girl has been giving me a run for my money lately!  She is talking up a storm, some of it understandable but every day she is getting new words and copying us (this could be a problem...  :-)

She is such a lover.  She hugs everyone and everything.  We're so proud of her.

Have a great weekend.

Weekend Recap and Valentines Day Ideas

This weekend I started questioning if I'm doing something wrong as a parent.  I'm blessed in that I have a group of women that I can ask questions to and find out that things are completely normal. Jessy refused to nap and we STRUGGLED with bedtimes this weekend.  To the point where I felt like throwing in the towel.  She could literally stay awake for 24 hours... she fights sleep and has a way of going and going like the energizer bunny.

We had more meetings with the builders this weekend... just praying that things work out to our favor.  And daddy and daughter had a dance off yesterday morning right out of bed!!

I took this picture this weekend and Jessy looks so grown up.  I think it was a trick of the camera. That's what I keep telling myself anyway...

With Valentines Day coming up I found some quick and easy ideas to share with you.

Since Valentines day is on the weekend this year, have some fun with it!  

18 Month Sleep Regression

We haven't seen the sun here for weeks... kinda drags you down a bit.  The groundhog certainly didn't see his shadow around us!  And what about this 18 month sleep regression?  How long does it last?  I've heard everything from 2 weeks to 2 months. I need some encouragement! Some days she hardly eats a thing and most nights she is up either fussing or screaming like a nightmare.  I've tried putting her in bed with me but that doesn't work AT ALL. She just wants to play with the dog instead.

This weekend we did a little shopping and stopped to get some Pho.... which baby J LOVED.

And the rest of the weekend was spent cuddling and snuggling which I LOVED!

Hopefully we'll get a couple of nights this week of full sleep. Have a good week!
