Baby Pudge



Here's a test shot with our new camera. Doesn't her face look kinda pudgy? It's merely the angle, but I do have a certain affinity for apparent baby pudge - even if it is just the angle. Her poor hair. S doesn't like a ponytail on the top of her head (a la Pebbles). Her hair's not quite long enough for two ponytails. And she does not have the patience for a bow clip to be put in her hair. Not sure what else we can do with her hair.

She's got her top right tooth coming in! I think you can even see it in the picture. She's been a little fussier than usual this weekend. Is it teething, or is it the milk-based formula? I have no idea.

We tried to work on the nap today. When she moves to the fishie room (1 year olds), they only take 1 nap a day. Julia, like her mom, is a two nap a day person. We kept her up until 11:30am (she usually naps around 9:30am), and she slept 2 hours. Decent, except she was beyond exhausted starting at 6pm. We put her to bed at a little after 7pm instead of at 8pm.

It would be nice if she could transition to 1 nap a day on her own schedule instead of now. She's ready to be a fishie as far as motor and social development; we just have to work on the nap and formula out of a sippy cup.

Buenas noches.

That's strange that they only give 1-year-olds one nap. My kids have always taken two naps (three as infants) until they are two. Then it normally transitions into one longer nap as they turn three. Every kid is different though.

Good luck!!!

Nicole, so I don't have the only weird kid that wants 2 naps. Yay! Still doesn't help my problem, but yay!

Wendy, thanks! I'll take your word for it that it's pudge.
