Sleeping baby makes for a happy Mommy

 I may be jinxing it: but the last few nights Maggie has been sleeping through the night!! 3 months and she is sleeping 6-9 hours!! How great is that!? 

She sleeps so well it scares me! I've woken with a start in the middle of the night a few times but have been happy to find her sleeping on!  

Lately I have been reading online about me and my baby's progress together I love babycenter.com because it is a forum community monitored by specialists. Not just moms. And if I have a question that doesn't require immediate attention I can post or search and find exactly what I'm looking for! It's so great! When maggie was born my mom sent me a link for a blog called "the alpha parent" kind of a snobby opinion of "I'm right don't question me". BUT she has this one post called

"Timeline of Baby and toddler sleep" I read the 3 months section today just to make sure Maggie is on track. Boy is she ever! One of the points said "Between now and 6 months, most babies will begin to sleep through the night (defined as five consecutive hours)" now I realize this is average and not my baby but really!? "Sleeping through the night" is 5 hours!?!? That's not through the night that is an interrupted evening! Maggie has been sleeping 7-8 hours THAT is sleeping through the night!!! WAYOOO!! I have an awesome baby!! No I'm not willing to trade!


 Ooo wanna see a super cute picture of her!? Tough you get to anyway ^_^



Adorable right!? ^_^ that's her blessing dress! She was blessed in August but I finally set up a photo shoot and took pictures!! Soooooo cute!!
 Can she get any cuter!? Oh! That's right she's my baby! Just wait till next post i'll have more!

Lets see.. me? Well I've been getting random bursts of energy and have been baking cleaning sewing and job hunting! (Know anywhere hiring?)

Cooking -  know any cake recipies that you can add your own twist and not kill the cake!? I got some Nutella to use up!!


Sooo much chocolate!!! I can't wait to use it!!!So I want to make Nutella brownies, cookies, cake... Etc. I even found a hot chocolate recipe with Nutella!!!

Sewing- I'm in the process of starting / making, PJ bottoms and a cute wrap around shirt yes I said shirt! 

Of course the pj bottoms are plaid but they are purple plaid!! So cute

And the shirt is from simplicity's 2369 

I'm going for pattern C! And it will be purple! (of course) 

As far as cleaning goes that's a work in progress but I get a little done everyday and that's all that counts, Right!?

I love being a mom!!! The smiles, the snuggles, the tears for comfort (or food XD ) and yes even the dirty diapers! 
TTFN!!
