Growing Girl

Tegan is growing growing growing!!! I hate that she is growing up and getting to be such a big girl!! But I love watching her grow and become such an independent little woman!! On Monday she started sitting up by herself! She can sit up alone for about 2 minutes before her bubble butt makes her fall over :)

And today she started sitting in her high chair and putting her banana puffs and yogurt bites in her mouth all by herself! She also started drinking out of a sippy cup... That is still a little tricky since its harder for her to hold then a bottle. But she is getting the hang of it!!

Eddie said we have to start letting her go to sleep on her own. No more holding her until she falls asleep and then putting her to bed. He said we are making a monster child by letting her do whatever she wants and by letting her get her way all the time. I say as long as she is respectful when she is older and knows mom is waaayyy cooler then dad then who cares lol.

But he may have a point so we started yesterday with putting her down for a nap at 12:15 for a nap while she is still awake and it only takes about 30-45 minutes of screaming and me biting my nails before she falls asleep on her own :(

And the doctor said we should start reading to her every night. So we read a few books last night. She fell asleep before she even ate her bottle lol. So she woke up after laying in bed for a few minutes and then she came back out and ate and then we read a few more books before finally going to sleep.

We have been blessed with such a beautiful angel for a daughter and I couldn't be happier to be living this life of mine :)
