There have been many changes at our house this week! Some of them are major, and we're still adjusting to all of them.
*The first, & most obvious one, is the look of my blog. I'm tired of the plain colors and really want to have a 'cute' header. You know, the kind with a picture of my family, and a clever title. BUT, I don't have a digital scrapbooking program yet, so this isn't possible. I thought the lighthouse was a 'nice substitute' for now.
*Next is that Madisen has decided NOT to take naps anymore! We went 5 days in a row with no nap, yesterday she had one and was up until about 10. This is new lifestyle for us!
*And last, is that Caitlyn has decided to stop nursing. She's been weening herself for a month or so now and now it's final. I think I'm still in denial, b/c I keep trying to nurse her several times a day. The crazy thing with her is that she'll take a bottle of formula if I give her one, but she never cries just for a drink. I have to consciously give her drinks during the day. The doctor thinks this will help her sleep through the night. Yes, she's 7 1/2 months old and STILL getting up at night. I've been nervous about her fluid intake for about 2 weeks now, it IS hot here you know! (Side note: On Monday we tied a recod; 9 consecutive days of 110 degrees or higher.)
Hopefully we can figure out and adjust to all of these changes REAL SOON!!

Love the new look of you blog. Good luck adjusting to the no nap days...its rough at first but does get easier! Aidan weened himself at exactly the same age...I didn't like it one bit, but now that I think about it, it was shortly after that he did start sleeping through the night. Good luck!
P.S. I'm so thankful I don't live in Las Vegas right now...I thought it was rough being pregnant here. I won't complain (as much) anymore!
Wow, those ARE changes! The nap thing is tough. Luckily she kept napping while Caitlyn was still little. We just have quiet time with Brandon. Annie thinks that she can stop taking naps now but I"M NOT LETTING HER!! She's only like 20 months old! No way, Jose.
Abi didn't start sleeping through the night until about one month ago (when she reached 8 months)...and she's always been bottle fed!
