Today is Babywise Friendly Blog Network Day! You can check out my post about weaning over on Wiley Adventures . Today Valerie, from Chronicles of a Babywise Mom , is guest posting. When brainstorming ideas for the post I asked her if she could write about filling the morning nap time slot. Tess is really ready to drop the morning nap but I keep holding onto it (we're down to an hour for it for now and she's currently awake halfway through her afternoon nap b/c she had that morning hour one!) simply because I'm nervous about how to fill ALL that time!!! I LOVE this post, so many great ideas! Be sure to visit all the fellow Babywise Network Bloggers today as well :)
Britt has held onto having two naps a day for quite some time. Toddlerwise recommends dropping the morning nap between 16 and 18 months old (although most people I know drop it even earlier). I tried to slowly wean her down from the morning nap but it only made her cranky and miserable. Child just LOVES to sleep and that's a good thing! She was still sleeping solid for the morning nap as well as solid for the afternoon one (although she would often take a bit to fall asleep for the afternoon nap and would often stay awake for a good 30 min or so when we put her to bed at night).

Kye dropped his morning nap three months sooner than Britt did. We did a slow transition with him and he, t...
Brittlynn was 7 months old from July 6th through August 5th. It was a BUSY month in the land of Brittlynn!!! Eating: Girl can GRUB. She lovessssss eating solids and will chow down on anything I give her. It's fun being creative! I am still very much loving Baby-Led Weaning and am about 99% sure that we'll do this same feeding method with baby #3 someday! I have MANY favorite things about my sweet girl but one of my top ones has to be how she already crosses her ankles like a little lady. She does it every time she eats and it's such a dainty, feminine thing to do. It's precious! Watermelon is for sure her favorite food...she shares her fav with her brother! More eating pics from this month: Girl loves watermelon so much she would not let go of it for bath time! Beef Stroganof After her "6" Month Well Visit and the news that she dropped in her percentiles for growth I did decide to start giving her rice cereal. I k...
