An Awesome Day

Today i realized how quickly a child can learn! She is really trying to talk  these days. Almost every word i asked her to say, she atleast tried. I asked her to say GREEN, she said "Gwee"! I LOVE hearing her little voice. Im probably being biased but i love little girl voices :P

Im really striving to full-on use the Attatchment Parenting Method. Its coming along great! I Feel like we have a closer bond. Ive even seen a difference with her around her daddy too. She really loves playing with him! Actually, she loves playing in general.

I don't jump everytime she gets hurt because really, she doesnt make a big deal out of it herself. Sometime she will scrape her arm on something and she'll say "ouch!" she'll hold it, scrunch up her face, lightly close her eyes and pretend to "whine" a little while walking towards me. I don't deny her feel-better-kisses. It comforts her and makes me feel important.

I have to say, she was really well-behaved today. Im impressed and proud of her. I recently looked in her mouth while brushing and found 3 more MOLARS!! This girl is a champ! Seriously, she got her first tooth at 5.5 months old and had ALL of them besides molars before she turned one! Now shes got ALL of her two-year molars and didnt even break a sweat!

Bedtime did take a little longer than normal but its the first time in 5 or so days its taken that long. And im pleased to say, there was no crying :) She must have just been restless. She fell asleep while i was rocking her and lightly scratching her back. she woke up briefly and pointed to her bed very groggy. I put her in and she was out. This is what i call success!

I work tomorrow night, so im a little worried that she might have a hard time with Daddy at bedtime. He usually does fine, so im not overly worried though.
