Separation Anxiety

With only a week to go until Jayden's 8 month birthday, Jonathan and I finally decided it was time .... time for our precious angel to try sleeping in her crib...in her room...away from mommy & daddy ;( and I had the WORST separation anxiety in the world! I hardly slept! I kept looking over at the empty cradle next to me and then at the baby monitor on the nightstand making sure our baby was OK all alone in that great big room of hers.

We put her down at 8:30 and when she woke up at 1:30 we...I...brought her back into our room. It's only logical for the first night to be half in her room and half in our room. For her sake...and for mine LOL :) Needless to say I slept much better once she was next to me. And tonight, as I'm writing this, I can't help but glance over at the monitor to make sure she is OK in her crib. While I miss her sleeping next to me in our room, it would be amazing if she could make it through the night without waking up! 

I'm such a proud mommy...our baby girl is sleeping in her own room & getting better at eating solids! The past few weeks Jayden has really struggled eating her veggies. We have tried rice cereal, veggies, even apple sauce! So today we went to Target and bought stage 1 fruits and I decided to try my favorite fruit first...bananas :) and she LOVED them! She actually ate them! All of them! I was surprised, especially considering no matter what I did she would not open her mouth for her veggies (which I can't be too surprised...we are talking about Jonathan's daughter LOL)

I'm so proud of our little peanut <3

Don't mind my airplane and train sounds LOL ... it really is funny to hear the sounds grown adults make to get babies to laugh :)

Guess I'm as guilty as the rest of 'em!
