Lately...

We've been extremely a little busy lately... but I wanted to get up a quick post before we go home for the holidays and madness happens. :)

So here's what we have been up to.
  • Breaking out the warm clothes  
  • Doing crafts (okay so it's only one... but I have a lot more planned)
  • Playing with new toys
  • Mastering tummy time and grabbing anything within reach
  • Putting up Christmas decorations and playing with the lights
  • Packing up our house... and cleaning, and sleeping on the floor. (we put all of our stuff into a two Uhaul UBoxes on Friday and Saturday.... so we have been without furniture for a few days) 
Dallin decided to wrap up in the fitted sheet for warmth
oh... and they accidentally gave us one of their storage boxes... so we had a few extra packing blankets (like 12 dozen too many...)

  • Schooling- DALLIN IS DONE!!!!! no more staying up until 3am writing code!!
  • Sleep training

Kylie is doing SO well! We start our nightly routine at 7:30pm. Take a bath, read a story, eat, wrap her in a blanket, turn on the mobile, give her a kiss and leave her in the pack and play. We decided to try the "cry it out" method, but we go in every 10ish minutes to comfort her- but we don't pick her up. The first night she cried for an hour and a half, and I was bawling as well.... so we went and got her. (... epic fail) The second night she cried for 2.5 hours, but eventually put herself to sleep. Don't worry it's much better now!! She is now to the point where we lay her down, and she doesn't cry at all and is asleep by the time the mobile stops playing. And she sleeps until 6am. It is amazing to actually sleep though the night. I feel rested for the first time in months.
