Minion's Birthday!

So it was the minion's birthday a couple weeks back and I've only just now got the chance to write about it. we threw her a little party and had only one other infant there. To  be honest, I'm glad we only had one other infant there... it was crazy but fun. Minion completely enjoyed herself. She got some new toys and had some cake, and didn't spill a single crumb on the floor. She was definitely wearing her cake though. And  even though I made the cake and it didn't come out the way I wanted it to, it was good and no one complained. :)

No More Nursing!!!

FINALLY!!!! We are done nursing, I made it to my goal of 12 months... barely. It was rough in the end there because my minion has nine teeth already! I know, crazy right?! But now we have her transitioned to bottles with cow's milk and it has been such a relief. Plus, she has been slowly but surely, waking up fewer times at night. She has been averaging about only one time to eat and maybe one other time to whine while rolling around for a new comfortable position. This means I've been slowly getting more hours of sleep at night also since I'm usually passed out by 1:30 am which is great since it used to be 3 or 4 am before I'd fall asleep while also waking every 2 hours to feed the minion. :) So, for all you out there struggling with night time feedings/ wakefulness, there is a light at the end of the tunnel!
