Transition

That's right...Helaina has been 1 for about 3 weeks now. She's well past being a "baby" and has jumped right into toddler hood. These past few weeks have been full of transitions. One of her most recent accomplishments is weaning from the bottle. We started whole milk on her first birthday and have gradually replaced the bottles with sippy cups. This week, we'll be eliminating the last bottle. The bottle before bed. Looking forward to cleaning those bottles one last time and putting them, the liners, and the formula away till the next wee one comes along.
Naps...oh how Helaina loves to nap...up until last week anyways! I thought it was a fluke but after about 6 consecutive days of Helaina talking to herself in the crib for almost an hour before she'd fall asleep, we decided it was time to make the transition from 2 naps a day down to 1. Randy did the test-drive today (lucky him, hehe). Helaina slept from about noon till 2:45 in the afternoon. She definitely needs an earlier bed time till she's used to the new routine, but we're very happy our plan worked today! Hopefully this will be our new normal.
