This morning was really nice! Maddie had a play date with
her friend, Rory and I got to hang out with Rory’s mom, Erica, for a little
while. Well the play date
consisted of Maddie eating bananas and cereal in her high chair and Rory
running around the house pointing out things that needed to be
childproofed. Thanks, Rors! I
appreciate your input! Let me know next time you are free and you can come help
put up some gates and cabinet locks.
Both girls went down for naps and then Erica and I had a little bit of
time to catch up. It was so great
to see her – I’m sad she couldn’t stay around longer.

| Maddie and Rory: Friends! |
Maddie was a little beast and didn’t feel like being social
today, but at least she was an angel for lunch yesterday. I went to meet my old co-workers at the
Capital Grille for a lunch with our Actuaries (Hewitt) and to reminisce about
working together. The hostess
looked taken aback when I walked in with a carrier, but they were really great
about letting me change Maddie in the coat room and bringing me whatever I
needed to heat up Mad’s bottle. Maddie let me pass her around to people and was smiling, but
mostly she just slept through lunch. First meal outing was a success!
Sleep training is going really well. This past week was very hard at times,
but I have stuck with the schedule and it seems to be paying off. I have moved
my chair a little further from Maddie’s crib, now, and she seems to be taking
it well. Today I rocked her and
sang to her until she was drowsy and when I put her down, she drifted off to
sleep twice without any
intervention. The third nap required a little shushing, but nothing that took
more than 2 minutes. It was
fantastic! I think I am going to move the chair a little closer to the door
tomorrow (a day early). She seems
ready. YAY! My inspiration (Erica)
showed me how wonderful it is to be able to put your little one down in her
crib and walk straight out of the room.
Nikki in awe. I simply can’t wait until we reach that point. I think we
are close!

Today is the last working day of the year for Phil and I am
excited for him to come home so we can really start thinking about Christmas. We bought a few gifts for Maddie and I
am looking forward to her opening them, with some assistance, of course, on
Tuesday. It will be a great
photo-op, I am sure. We never did
get out to see Santa this year, but Maddie would probably just screamed through
the experience anyway. Haha.
Well, to all of you who read my blog: Merry Christmas!!!
