We are on day 8 of no nap, however, I think she would have napped yesterday if I tried a little harder. It was kind of late in the afternoon and I did not want to mess up bed time. The really good news is that she slept until 7AM this morning. I hope that this is a new trend for us. She actually woke a little before 6, but I explainedthat she couldn't get out of bed until it was light outside and she seemed to do ok with it.
We are on day 7 of no wubbanub and I think she is just about done asking for it! I thought giving up her paci would be a lot harder than it ended up being. For that I am thankful.
Next: Potty training.

27 Minutes
Well after 27 minutes of screaming and finally falling asleep, little miss Sophia slept for about 4 hours and came pitter pattering in our room screaming for her na-na (Sophia speak for wubbanub).
*Mama na-na, I can't find it, na-na mama.* Repeat.
I had only just laid down to go to sleep and as exhausted. Knowing I had to get up at 6AM to go to the hospital for a CT Scan, I was unable to get to sleep. Sophia was crying (sobbing really) I can't find na-na mama. WaAAAAaaah! Na-Na!!! Shannon decided that I needed to deal with her as he had to get up for work. I really did not want to cave in and give her wubbanub, so I picked her up and off we went to her bed. I put her in bed and crawled in next to her. I ran my fingers through her hair and sang our song taking turns... (na na na na, na na na na.... hey hey hey.. goodbye). Mommy my turn, nanana hey, hey, hey, bye. She is soooo darn cute when she does that. I should really get it on video and post it. After about 45 minutes I was able to get her to sleep and climb back into my own bed.
Then it was 430AM and pitter patter was approaching rapidly. No crying this time, just not tired anymore. 'Mommy I hungry!' was my greeting. So I got up and got her a sippy cup of milk. Hoping to buy me some time I put her back in bed with said sippy and told her it was the closest thing to wubbanub she was going to get and go back to sleep. I climbed back into bed once again hoping to get an hour more out of her. It was not meant to be and a few minutes later back she came.
Mary came over with pancakes for her and I was off to get my belly scanned. She went to school or shool as she calls it. And appeared to have a blast as usual. I was tired from my long night and short morning. So, I was really REALLY looking forward to nap time today. I even went out and got a gate to block her door off. I was going to nap today if she had to scream through it! So I had Todd put the gate up and I got Gavin down for his nap. I fed Sophia a snack and gave her a few fruit snacks to take in her room. I shut the door and gate and went to lay down. Soon after I left she tried to come out and was unable, prompting her to scream and scream and scream. I decided after 30 minutes I could not let her wake Gavin up (although at that point if he were going to wake I think he would have) and went to lay down with her. Needless to say she did not nap. at. all. So, we are on day 3 of no nap. A short night of sleep. No wubbanub. I am not sure how I made it through the afternoon, but I did. Yay! ME! (or more to the point how Sophia made it). Luckily I have great in laws. Mary called to check on us. I was not feeling well (a side effect of all the stuff they pumped me full of to do the CT Scan.) and Mary decided it was best I get my sleep and she came and took Sophia off to wear her out and get her some food and hopefully sleep (sans wubbanub)!
I will be going to sleep now. It is almost 8 and I anticipate a full 10-11 hours of sleep! Yay! Mary and Steve. I hope you two are faring well with the little princess.

RIP
Tonight Sophia was hopping out of bed laughing like ha ha mommy, see I don't have to go to bed. So I took one of her wubbanubs and told her if she did not go to sleep she would be loosing another. She practically mocked me, so out came wubbanub! She cried and cried for about 27 minutes. I had to go and reassure her a few times and tell her to get back into bed, but eventually (27 minutes later) she fell asleep. I am hoping that this will get easier and easier.
It started out being a punishment (that worked), but I am hoping for this to be permanent. Stay tuned for more in the continuing saga of the wubbanub.
RIP Wubbanub.

Sophia had her first ride in an ambulance!
Let me start by saying she is OK!
I went to workout Monday evening. I left Shannon at home with both children in bed, Suzanne had been to visit and stayed to eat dinner with us so she was here as well. I was going to water aerobics, so I left my purse (with cell phone) at home. When I returned about 2 hours later Suzanne was still here and now Steve and Mary were here, all I could think was that someone died.
It turns out right after I left Sophia decided to open (including the foil seal) a bottle of baby shampoo. She proceeded to try to drink it and get it in her eyes. She was crying so Shan went to check on her. Not knowing what to do he called Mary, who in turn told him to call poison controll. It is a little sketchy what happened at this point, but somehow 911 was called and the police along with paramedics arrived and strapped Shannon to a gurney. Why he was strapped instead of Sophia I have no idea. I think they had to put red tape on his feet and leave the door open! (joking of course).
After I got home they still had not been seen at the E.R. So, I went and picked them up and brought them home. Sophia was tired but no worse for the wear! And that was how we spent Monday night.

woo hoo mama got her new bling!
It has taken some time, but it is here!
Not the best picture, but you get the point.
We are back from our trip to Chicago and Seattle. I have updated the dropshots account with tons of pictures. We had a good time overall. It was sad burying Jeff. I still cannot believe he is gone and we will never see him again.
Gavin is teething, I expect to see teeth any day now. I can sure feel it when I nurse him!
Sophia had her 2 year check-up. She is now a whopping 37.75 inches tall! She is far above the charts in her height. Her weight is 30 pounds and 6 ounces, which is 90th percentile and her head is 19 inches which puts her in the 75th percentile for head circumfrence. She was such a big girl and did not even cry when she had her shot.
We are all tired, but doing well. I will keep updating weekly.
