Small Successes

Every Thursday Danielle Bean says it is important for moms to celebrate their small successes so she does just that! Here are my small successes for the week:

1) For almost two weeks now I have been sleep training Zizzy. I have successfully used the "Sleep Lady" system. It is AWESOME!!! No crying it out! NO feeling like a terrible mom! There are tears don't get me wrong but you are there with your child every step of the way. You slowly back out of the room over a period of two weeks until your child is comfortable and feels safe sleeping on their own. I am all the way to the door of the room. Zizzy only woke up ONCE last night!!!

2) Last week I threw a great party for Zizzy! I can't believe she is one! Tom and I made several different kinds of snack foods. I made cup cakes. We had ice cream but I forgot to serve it. I printed about 50 pictures of Zizzy and we had them hanging across the living room for everyone to see how much she has changed in one year!

3) I took Zizzy to her one year check up! She got her shots (I hate those). She is 16.9 pounds and 27 inches tall! She is still in the 25% in height and weight. She has been since birth. While there I had Lucy's allergies checked and made sure she doesn't have another budding ear infection (she doesn't). All in all it was a very productive appointment!
