We're in a good rhythm most days at the Eyes.' With this face, how could I ever complain?
Thankfully, Avery's started sinking into a better sleep pattern recently without the 4-5am wakings (then back to sleep until 7). Now she's just sleeping from 7 - 7 (or a little earlier)! Don't know what happened but we were just about ready to do some sleep training and crying it out to get ride of that feeding. Pray this sticks!
She's up to about 25 pounds and takes 1 afternoon nap, usually just under 2 hours. It's not a lot of sleep in a day in my opinion but seems to be enough for this busy girl!
This week starts a new change for our family: I'm going to work! I'm a part-time Breakfast Consultant with Hunger Free Colorado. My excitement isn't in leaving her, but I'm so glad it's a part-time flexible job I've been praying for that allows me to work whatever hours I want, from home, with occasional meetings with schools. And it gives her some chances to play with other people and explore other environments and ways of doing things for a couple days a week. Nice way to ease into things I think! Plus I'm excited to learn more about the nutrition environment in Colorado's schools and help make improvements and get more hungry kids connected to healthy brain food.
Here are some favorite shots from recent play times.

Proud of her puzzle and book reading abilities
Telling me something! Quite possibly "peepee" we've been working on as part of an early potty training/awareness effort. And, pointing out something in her book.

We spend hours looking at family pictures in this baby book...
