First off: The sleeping situation...
I don't think I mentioned earlier, but we started sleep training using the Sleepeasy Solution almost 3 WEEKS ago. I think that E has the stubbornness of Michael and I COMBINED! Good grief it is taking forever. A little bit of the problem is that she is soooo close to having her top two teeth come in, that there are some nights where she is probably a little uncomfortable from that. But all in all, I think we just waited too long and she is becoming more stubborn by the minute :-p
Last night was a good night. I don't think she will ever completely stop crying when I put her down, but this time it was only for about 2 to 3 minutes and she stayed laying down rather than pulling up in the crib and stading there just wailing. Oh and she didn't wake up and bawl for 45 min during the middle of the night either- nice! I'm not ready to claim victory yet though, b/c 3 nights ago was a good night too, followed by a horrible night after that.

On to the next news

E moved to her new class in daycare last Friday. Other than the first day they say she has gotten in almost a 2 hour nap each day. And boy oh boy is she getting all kinds of new things to eat! Up until last week the only solids she was eating were rice and oatmeal cereals and pureed jar foods. Now she is eating all kinds of fruits and veggies, cinnamon toast, waffles, banana bread, the list goes on and on! And the peas and peaches that she spurned from the jar? Apparently she LOVES them in "real" form! I had a feeling this would be the case.

She still seems a little awed in the mornings when we go in there, because the activity level is just racheted up way beyond what there was in her infant room. They say that she is happy all day (except when she gets tired) and is having a blast. My only concern is that all this extra stimuli is just a little too sudden and too much and she will just crash soon. Hopefully not though, b/c I really want this to work out for her!
