Spring is here & things are a changin!!

Welp, it has happened! One of the things that I have been dreading the most... 

McKenley has officially weaned herself to only one nap a day!!!! AHHHHHH! 

I was really hoping I could put this off for a few more months, I don't know why I am so surprised that our little princess had a different plan in mind, we all know she's been this way from day 1, LITERALLY!!! haha

I had just gotten used to our routine of two naps a day, scheduled all of our activities around the 2 nap schedule and now all of it needs to change. Ohhhh, the things we'll do for a good nap :) 

So, "officially" (because we all know a schedule with babies is never official!!) her new schedule is as follows:
8:00am - McKenley wakes up
Within 30 minutes of waking - Breakfast
9:30 - 10 - Mid-Morning Snack
11:30 - Lunch
12:00 - fingers crossed 2pm - the ONE nap of the day!!
3:30 - Afternoon snack
6:00 - Dinner
8:00 - Bedtime

Whew!! Makes for a busy, and sometimes very long day! I am very excited though, that we have a little more time in the morning to do some fun activities like Babies and Books at the Library that used to conflict with her morning nap! 

And that's NOT where the changes end!!! As of last Thursday, this house is OFFICIALLY bottle-free and formula-free! Our little princess is becoming such a big girl, drinking only from a sippy cup with whole milk at meals! It was so liberating to pack up the bottles! No more cleaning all those tiny parts every night, we're LOVING it! 

Casey and I are constantly amazed by how smart she proves to be everyday! She changes so much, right before our eyes shes becoming such a little lady with the cutest personality! Can't wait to see what changes she has up her sleeves next!

And now for your viewing pleasure, a few impromptu photos of our little angel enjoying the spring weather!!

Havin fun with mommy!

Well I think it's safe to say, I have been the WORST blogger ever!!! It's my goal to get back on track with atleast one post a week!!! I have all sorts of things to update on including, her birthday, all her new stats, and just general goings on around the house. SO, instead of taking all of this on at once, I'm going to start small today and just get started again.

Haven't you missed this face!!
