On my mind

First our little Lanie has a new morning routine...she wakes up and wakes us up at 5:30 every morning. This used to drive me crazy, and leave us all tired, seeing as Mav gets up in the night for feedings. Our solution, at least to avoid having a tired/grouchy Lanie, was to change her bedtime from 8:30 pm to 7 pm. It's made all the difference so far.I still wish she slept in till 8:30 like she used to though.

Second, Mav has become a baby of snacking. He doesn't like to eat an entire bottle all at once, not sure if that is due to his reflux or that he just likes to eat ALL DAY long. Another habit he has developed is being rocked to sleep. Who knew that a 10 week-old baby could have demands so early on. Active parenting must take place now! As my friends, Melissa and Jon would say, "Now you know what it's like to be parents." Lanie was so easy as a baby, pretty much left us playing house, but Mav has opened our eyes to what real parenting is going to be like. Gotta love it!

And lastly, for now at least, is that Lanie has a new found love....SOCCER! Thanks to the Backyardigans, "Soccer Monster" show, Lanie now runs around the house screaming, "YOCCA (soccer)" while kicking a soccer ball. She's obsessed!
