Brynlee is getting so big! I know its gonna happen but it seems to go too fast already! Sooner than we know it, we'll be celebrating her first birthday! But right now, lets not think about that!
Now that its just Me, Nick and Brynlee...well and the dogs...I wanted to start to get some sort of schedule going. Granted I know its not always gonna be possible, but its a guide I guess I will say. Haha. She now sleeps roughly 10-12 hours.
I am blessed. She goes to bed around 930-945...she is so good too, because she can be wide awake after eating and I go lay her down, give her her pacifier and she's good to go for the night. Then she wakes up around 8 or 9...give or take the day. Either way, I'm not complaining at all! We get up then she eats 6oz. She then goes till noon then after that eats 4oz every 3 hrs till bedtime and we do it all again.
I've been trying to get her to take her naps in her crib. Yes, she is still in our room. Lol. Only because she starts to move around and such around 6 and just needs her pacifier...and she does that a few times then gets fully back to sleep. Now since she isnt' actually waking up, why do I need to get up. Hehe. Reason for her still being in our room. If she was in her room, I'd have to get up to find her paci and who knows she might of woke herself up by the time I realize she needs it then we would get up. And I'm all about staying in bed till 8...I'm not a 6am-er!
Anyway, we've started napping in the crib. Her morning nap, she's got it down...come 945...she's ready, I really just put her in her crib and she's good for the most part. The other naps...not as easy. She likes to fight them. Even though I can hold her and she'll fall asleep with me rocking her...which a lot of times I have to do...but I can't hold her every nap! I got things to do! Slowly but surely we'll get there, I hope.
When my mom and sister were here, they played in an all night softball tourny with Nick. That was the first time Nick has really played softball and is now playing on his shops team. He loves it. Although he says he isn't very good, he surely isn't bad! They lost their game last night but they have 2 tomorrow. I've grown up at the fields, so I love being there. It feels so homey to me!
We don't have much planned as of now. The month of June was a relax and get back to normal month..after family left. Then July who knows. Lots of pool time and beach time! Brynlee loves laying on the beach, or so I think since she falls alseep! Oh and with that, she sleeps ten times better and more sound outside...crazy girl. guess it was all our on the go trips when she was so tiny. In August we are going to London for a couple days. I'm pretty excited for that since I was born in England but I do not remember any of it. I know, I wasn't born in London but still. Plus the base I was born at is no more...Then in Sept Brynlee and I plan on flying Space A to the states to spend 2 weeks in Arizona and 2 weeks in Arkansas then back to Italia.
Then its Thanksgiving and Christmas and then PCS time! Which, next month our list of available bases comes out, I'm very curious! Then in the fall we should get our assignment, which I am very excited about. I love moving and new things and decorating again! Although I am leary about this move, we've added...2 dogs and a baby, start praying now! lol. I will miss my awesome friends here though!! I think thats all I have for now!
Have a blessed week!
Our Independence Day was pretty fun. We got up and went to church and then had a late lunch BBQ at our friends house. Just hung out and waited for the festivities to start on base...but of course it rained, and hailed for that matter...so we hung around at the BBQ longer and then come 9pm we decided to pack up and head to base for the fireworks...and it was still raining...so we did indeed watch fireworks from the car! They were very awesome though! Hope everyone had a great 4th!
