NOT magical monkey pjs

No luck with the pjs last night....the search for a solution continues :-(

Magical Monkey Pajamas?

So, Sheridan is still not regularly sleeping through the night, for the most part she is in bed by 7:30-8:00 and usually gets up around 10:30-11:30 to eat, goes right back to sleep until around 7:15am. Not too bad, but on a few luck occasions she actually sleeps through the late night snack and when that happens boy do we try to figure out what we did for that to occur. Was it because I didn't have any caffeine, did she take good naps, did she not take naps, the house is warmer or cooler, must have been the sheet I put on the crib. Any excuse we can analyze to explain this blessed event. Which brings me to the magical monkey pjs, I swear every time she wears these pjs she sleeps through the night. Again, maybe I am over analyzing but she wore them last night and slept from 8 pm to 6 am this morning! So, you can bet she is wearing them again tonight - this will be the true test....if we make it two nights in a row I may have to make a trip to Babies R Us tomorrow to stock up on what seem to be magical monkey pajamas.

The voting is closed.

Thanks to all who participated in Sheridan's costume voting poll. Today was the photo shoot and Sheridan looked absolutely adorable and she was in such a good mood so I think we got some great smile shots. Janine said the photos would be ready in about a week, I will make sure to post the link so check back to find out which costume we went with! Below is a video of Sheridan playing with her favorite toy - a dancing monkey (go figure). Another great find at Reruns R Fun. It is a little long (about 2 1/2 minutes) so don't feel like you have to watch the whole thing....I just couldn't stop taping.

Babies, Babies, Babies

So, I just learned another one of my friends is pregnant and due next Summer! That makes 5 friends all due around the same time - there must be something in the water. All but one are expecting for the first time, how exciting. It seems like so long ago but also like yesterday that we found out we were pregnant with Sheridan - it is such a fun ride!

Thanks to all who have been voting for Sheridan's costume - keep 'em coming. We took actual pictures of Sheridan in the costumes this weekend. Yes, I already bought them both but I am holding on to the receipts and I have until the 23rd to return one of them. I'm kind of swaying towards Monkey but the votes are swaying towards Superbaby....if the photos change your mind feel free to cast a different vote.

Baby food is going well, Sheridan is just like a little birdie with an open mouth waiting for food. So far she like apples, bananas, butternut squash and sweet potatoes. Not so fond of chicken, carrots or avocados. We are going to try pears tomorrow morning.

We went to Vala's this weekend. We couldn't wait to take Sheridan to the place where daddy proposed to mommy. We, unfortunately couldn't remember the exact location but it was still fun to experience that with her. She really like the pumpkins and we had to pose with Homer Simpson because Jon always says when Sheridan gets done eating she gets this Homer look of content. Anyways, enjoy some new pics below.

The Great Costume Debate

I cannot decide what to dress Sheridan for her first halloween, I guess I just want it to be perfect. I have narrowed it down to 2 choices and I thought everyone could help me make up my mind.

Costume #1 - Superbaby. I really wanted to coordinate costumes with Stallone and I have a superman costume for him as well.

Costume #2 - Monkey. I love monkeys! Plus, I think of Sheridan as a little monkey so this seems like the right fit. And, this girl at work has a banana costume so I thought instead of Stallone she could coordinate with mommy.

I know I could do both, but I really wanted to decide on one. Plus, part of the debate is we are going to get professional pics done on the 18th. Our photographer is doing a fundraiser so for $25 we can get costume photos taken and we get a free 5x7. Anyway, share your vote on the right.....Thanks!

Shopping wears me out.

For the most part I think Sheridan likes to shop just like her mom and grandma. Sometimes we may push her limits a little too far. This week was the Reruns R Fun sale. If you don't already know about it you are missing out, this is like one huge garage sale - only the items are really good quality and low costs. Here is the link so you can watch for the spring sale: http://www.rerunsrfun.net/. So, our first visit was on Monday - I happened to be in the neighborhood and saw that the sale was going on so I called grandma to meet us - 2 1/2 hours later we were checking out! Sheridan was such a good sport and boy did we get some deals. Saturday was 50% off day so, of course, we had to go back and see what other finds we could get. Let me remind you that new items are dropped off daily so this was like a whole new pool of goods. The doors opened at 11, we should have arrived at 10:30 because when we got there the line was around the building. But we were in luck and made the first 400 in the door. Most of the clothes that I put back on Monday were still there only now they were 50% off. So, jeans and sweaters for $2.00 (from Gap!) you can't beat that. Only there an hour this time it turns out shopping wears Sheridan out - she fell asleep face forward in the baby bjorn - how cute is that?
