I love when she gets super excited, it is usually about the most RANDOM things. In the picture below I put her new boots on her, she was thrilled! They are a little big, so we have to wait a few more weeks probably. But she ran around in them all over the house. The other day at Meijer while I was checking out she kept reaching for my credit card, well I needed that soon so couldn't give it to her and gave her a Sam's Club card instead. She immediately got a huge grin and screamed in joy, everyone around us started laughing; the cashier thought it was hilarious.
As you can see, she did eventually take it. I will say though, I think we maybe started the transition a little early. I kind of wish I didn't listen to the doctor and started the transition in another month or so, she drinks less milk now than before. The pediatrician we have been seeing is very by the book, he does not have kids of his own and is fresh off his residency. So he has no out of clinical experience, which I have not been a huge fan of. Since her 15mon appointment with this doctor I have actually switched pediatricians. I really was rooting for this new guy, everyone has to start out and I wanted it to work. I just feel like I need someone with a little bit more hands on experience, my questions when in the office are more pertaining to parenting and not medical concerns. And the final straw was at the END of our 15mon appointment he was talking about how we will see him next at 2yrs old; I asked if we will see him for 18mon and his response was "Oh, I thought she was 18mon" Um....no, and for a 1yr old 3mon is a big difference, so much will change before then! Oh well....we are still at the same practice just with a different doctor that two of my sister in laws recommended.
Brie is always very curious what either Alec or I are doing. Here Alec was fixing the drain in the tub, and she loved watching him! It was really cute, she kept pointing into the tub. (pardon the picture of Alec's booty!)
Naps have been the other thing we tried to transition. I tried for a long time to get her onto a 1 nap schedule. It went ok for a little while, she just can't make it past 11am though, I would find her laying on the floor or couch usually about ready to crash. So I just decided it was not worth it, she was grouchy before and after the one nap. So we are back to a sort-of 2 nap routine. Brie usually wakes up around 7:30a, takes a nap from about 10:30/11-12:30ish, and then has a lay-down/relaxation time from 3:30-4:30p. I call it a lay-down because sometimes she doesn't fall asleep, but will just lay down and suck her thumb with her lovey. So that has been working great for us, I actually really like this 'schedule'. Much more flexibility for running errands or meeting people for lunch, if we are out and about in the afternoon then sometimes she just snoozes in the car and that is perfect! She almost always goes to bed around 7:30pm with no issue.
Whenever I clean I give her a swiffer duster and she thinks that is so cool!
When we were cleaning downstairs she found this jumping thing in her closet, I bought this when she was a 'baby' and she never got the hang of it. So just to be funny I put her in it, she STILL didn't get it! I was trying to get her to jump in it, and NO go! She just kept trying to walk away in it, I was laughing so much!
Toddler is learning to feed herself! It is really cute, but actually kind of a pain. Way messier and when she is eating something she needs help with it is a major battle. She does NOT want help, even though she needs it!
