cuteness

My sweet little LucyAnn had her first 2 teeth break through a couple of weeks ago. Her Grandma McElprang discovered both of them. She just looks so stinkin cute with those little chompers. I love getting a big toothy smile out of her. 

Can you see those beautiful pearly whites?


She is still getting bigger and bigger (in at least the 90th percentile for weight, head circumference, and length). I just can't believe how big our pork chop is getting! (Thanks Daddy for that flattering nickname)

But she is pretty dang proud of how big she's getting!

Another recent project is getting her on a consistent nap schedule and making her sleep through the night. We've taken the "cry it out" approach...tonight is night 4 and she is doing FANTASTIC! A week ago she was waking up every hour and a half and last night she went to bed at 8:30 PM, woke up once, at 4:00 AM, went back to sleep until 6:30 AM, had a bottle and slept until 7:40 AM. Now, a week ago she did have a cold and wasn't feeling 100% but seriously, going from waking up a minimum of 4-5 times a night to sleeping an 8 hour chunk...COME ON!!! Yes, the first night was tough (Daddy was on duty but I could still hear the cries), but each night has gotten easier and easier. I still wake up to check on her a ton in the middle of the night (just me being paranoid), but I see a whole lot more of this....
**Sigh** Such a beautiful thing.

Yep Goosey, I'm talking about you cute girl!

We adore this darling girl and, even though sometimes she drives me Nuts-O, I'm so very lucky to be her Mama!

Hurray for you toughing it out! Isn't sleep the best?! I'm dying over her sleeping position. She is such a little sass! Love it!
