Sippy Cups and Nap Time

In the Holden household we are trying to get Rosalynn use to using a sippy cup. We knew it would be a challenge. One day during lunch I decided that today was the day. I added apple juice (don't worry its watered down) and I handed it to her. At first she was just looking at it and holding it but within seconds she started drinking from it. I was like "my child is awesome!!"  Well that didn't last long lol.

First day or Sippy cup training.

Now every time we give her the cup all she does is chew on it and make a weird face when the apple juice leaks out. She also loves banging it on the tray and throwing it down. I have not lost faith and I keep trying. Hopefully she gets it. 

On another note I cant wait till Easter!!! I have started her basket but I feel like it needs a few more things. I'll figure something out. Can't wait to put her in her Easter dress. Trying to choose between two different ones so I'll let her dad pick. :) 

Oh nap time how I miss you. Rosalynn lately only takes 20-30 mins naps!!! I don't know what happened but she hates sleeping lol. Any ideas on what I can do to make her sleep longer? I feel like she should be sleeping more than that. Thank god for Bubble Guppies and her Jumper or I would get nothing done.

It's December!!!!

It's December and I am so excited!!  Christmas is my favorite time of the year. This year it's going to be even better because I have a little one!!! We is still too young to really know what is going on but I think secretly she knows lol. I have already put on her first Christmas outfit :)

Kevin and I have already spoiled her with presents. We got her mostly clothes since you can never have enough for a 2 month old but we did get her some toys that she has already started playing with. Pics soon to come.

Rosalynn update..she is starting to smile like crazy!!! It melts my heart when she looks up at me and smiles. She is also slowly starting to have a schedule. (Will post on another blog)

Well I am looking forward to the following days until Christmas where I know she is going to be snorers with presents by her lovely grandmothers. I will leave you with our first official family pic that was taken on Thanksgiving. I need to work on getting more but only if my husband would smile lol.

Update!!!

Well it has been a while since I had written but as a mom of an almost 6 month old it has been super busy!! I am going to change up this blog and focus more on Rosalynn and our everyday then just a general post about her life. We'll see if I can keep it up.

 We have gone through two holidays already and are upon our third one. I have always been big about holidays but now with a little one my obsession has grown!! I love dressing her up in outfits and headbands that go with the holiday. We already have our Easter dress and headband ready to go :)

I am in the process of making her first Easter basket!! As a kid my mom would always get make my baskets instead of buying me a generic already made one and I tend to do the same with Rosalynn. I just have to get a few more things and it will be complete!! Another obsession is getting her books abut the Holiday we are celebrating. Even though she won't know what is going on in the long run she will enjoy seeing pictures of her opening up her first basket.

Here are the most recent pics of Rosalynn playing with her best buddy, watching Bubble Guppies, and talking to her Daddy at the same time. She can multitask. :)

Peace!

She loves her Daddy!!!

This is priceless.
