Naps and carrots

Non-nursing bed naps are continuing to happen, which is great. Generally we get about one in per day. The exciting news is that my husband got her down for a nap this weekend in the futon. (She's fallen asleep for him in the bjorn, car seat, and swing, but never just putting her to bed. That's historically been because he doesn't have the magic nursing power. And that's, of course, what we're trying to change.) The even better news is that he really didn't have to do all that much - she basically put herself to sleep, which is awesome.

On the food front, we introduced carrots yesterday and she appears to love them. However, I have to keep a watch on her becuase last night she seemed to be having more reflux issues. Perhaps it's the carrots, or perhaps we just fed her too late.

We also got some Earth's Best rice cereal (instead of the multi-grain) and she seems to like that as well. The texture is nicer than the multi-grain, I think. (nicer= smoother) I've fed her some with water, formula and recently with the carrots mixed in. She digs it.

So, I guess we need to start tackling the nighttime nursings. They continue to happen every 2 hours at least (I think partially becuase of the reflux) and I suppose the first step is to get them to happen less frequently before we cut them out all together. Perhaps we'll try putting her to bed in her own room tonight and see how long she sleeps before waking. I don't really think it's going to work all that well, but we have to start somewhere.
