We have been traveling quite a bit and now we are finally home for awhile...
since my last post this is what little bit has been up to!
-She has grown lots of hair and teeth (she has 6 now)
-She is in size 3 diapers
-She wears 6-12 month clothing
-She pulls up on everything
-She is officially crawling!!! I thought we were going to skip this b/c she started pulling up first.
-She is finally napping in her crib instea of her swing! Yay, huge accomplishment
-She loves to eat puffs, bananas, and mostly all baby food.
-She has 4-5 bottles a day
-Sleeps about 10hrs a night w/ no waking up
-Her favorite toy is anything she can pull up on and lids
-She does not take a paci and still has no lovie :( I want her to have something but she truly hasn't become attached to anything but me.
-She still loves her car seat and will usually take at least 1 nap a day in it while running errands. She is still a great traveler
-She loves most people, especially men
-She grunts when she likes/wants something :)
-She is finally making some sounds: bah bah, pa pa (still no da da or ma ma) which we work on everyday
-She is so.much.fun I can hardly handle it.
nightly walks are the best!
Standing is her favorite!
Do any of you moms have advice of how to get them on a good nap schedule and how I can get her to go down w/o a bottle... I started that only to transition her out of the swing but know i need to stop soon!

What a cutie! As far as a nap schedule goes....I was really worried about getting Pearce on a schedule. Got the book "Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child." At that age, they need a morning nap, afternoon nap, and maybe a short evening nap depending on bed time. Honestly, before I finished the book, Pearce just fell into his own little schedule. He would wake up between 7-8, morning nap from 10-12, afternoon nap 3-5, then sometimes an evening nap. Bed by 8. I was always flexible. I always gave Pearce a bottle before naps and bedtime. I don't think that's a bad thing. It helped calm him. He is 17 months old now (and down to one nap)and I still give him a bedtime bottle.
I prefer to give my little one her bottle when she wakes up, except for the last feeding of the day which is, obviously, before bedtime. I also believe, at this age, they like having a doll or stuffed animal with them in bed to help alleviate any separation anxiety. Good luck! Your daughter is seriously adorable.
