First, for those of you waiting on the Blake and Ashlee slideshow it is coming along and will be up by the end of this week....stay tuned for the awesomeness! I wish I could get it all done today but there are so many pictures! I promise it will be worth the wait!
Second, after eating way too much at the wedding last weekend I have been being really strict this week as far as eating goes and doing about 95% raw food (meaning veggies, fruits, and nuts/beans in their raw form, uncooked) and still eating some fish/chicken every once in a while)....It has personally been amazing for me and I went to cheat one day at Panera (because who can really say no to Panera?!) and felt terrible afterwards. I even chose to have a fruit bowl at IHOP this morning! I will weigh on Tuesday and see if I lost anything. But even if I haven't, I feel so much better now! I will try to post some recipes and such sometime.
Next, to the sleep portion of this post. Beans has been very needy in regards to sleep in the 10 months of her life...she loved to cuddle and sleep with her face planted right on you since day one. It has taken her awhile to learn to put herself to sleep, etc. So, the result has been that she has been sleeping in our room. I have read books, searched the internet, on what to do and decided to just go with the flow. (ok, so some days I stressed about it but after the day of stress I realized it was stupid to get hung up on it and we moved on...because hey, at least we were all getting some sleep :) ) So, about 3 weeks ago I could tell we were almost ready to move into her own room...but boy were we scared of the screaming all night. So, this weekend we went for it and it is a success!!!!! She cried for a total of 6 minutes the first night then slept the whole night! She also took both naps and slept for 2 hours each time (double what she usually does!)...So we're 2 nights in and so far, a success...thank God!!!
Here she sleeping in her crib at her nap this am...she loves curling up in the corner...I didn't want to make a racket, so its not that close up and it was dark so the grain is from the bumped up ISO...but you get the jist...
And finally....happy fathers day to all the awesome dads out there!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No dad in this world can ever imagine the stress of being a mom. It seems that the pressure continues to grow through the years. I am so proud of you for training Beans so early. Sweet Pea is four and I still have to put her to sleep with me (and then Matt moves her to her bed). Every kid is different though. You are doing wonderful with your diet and I am so proud of you. Don't ever feel bad about losing the processed foods because I am eating enough for both of us. Can't wait to see the rest of the wedding pictures!
i can't wait to get a crib and use it for naps!! yeh, for the beans. it's amazing just the timing and such!! and you are right amber every child is different. i am so trying out the raw food thing.
wow us hoyts all do the same thing all the time, no matter how far away. I'm enjoying the raw food thing. Not sure it will make me happy during the winter, but so far happy in the summer. Also, glad to see beans is moving into her own room. Hopefully she won't take after her aunt L in sleeping habits. :)
