baby it's not you

IT'S ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, let me voice a tish of frustration. Remember how my lovely lump of 8 month cuteness HATES napping and would only do it for a decent amount of time for The Nap Whisperer? Well APPARENTLY everyone was trained in Nap Whisperer 101 except for dear old mum.
::gnashing of teeth::

Allow me to explain. This week, my first week of freedom, has been spent taking a final grad class to get my lovely dovely teaching licence, that expires this December, renewed.
P.S. The only other professions that REQUIRE this kind of continuing education are doctors and lawyers. I'm just saying...Anyway, Lilly pants has been shuffled among my friends to save some moolah. 1.) I have great friends. 2.) They are succckkkerrzzz for Lilly w/crazy hair.
Okay, back to my point...

Saturday-Nap Nanny {laura}= 30 minute screamfest followed by a 40 minute nap {unacceptable}
Sunday- Nap Nanny {laura}= 30 minute screamfest followed by 1 hr nap -improvement, yes,but still {unacceptable by mommy standards}

Monday- Nap Nanny {dad}= 10 minute screamfest followed by 2.5 hour nap {acceptable and applauded, 2 gold stars}

Tuesday- Nap Nanny {holly}= no screamfest followed by 1.5 hour nap {acceptable, fluke?}

Wednesday- Nap Nanny {angie} = no screamfest followed by 1.5 hour nap {acceptable, WTF?}

Thursday- Nap Nanny {alissa} = few minute whimpers followed by 1.5 hour nap {oh shoot moment, realizing that it's ME}
BABY, it's MEEEEEE NOT YOU! She will nap for everyone with ease and charm, but for momma? SHE. BRINGS. THA. RUCKUS.


Proof.

That her hair is ridiculous.

That we definitely need to lower her crib.

That she's adorable when she's refusing to nap.

That I'm a bigger sucker than mah friends.

Yes, my baybee gets two naps. Adding those details woulda just made this a long, tedious, boring, drawn out post. Stop your tsk...tsking, mommaz!

  1. Haha you are hilarous. And she is adorable. And she probably doesn't nap for youi cause you are an awesome mommy and she wants to hang out with you longer. Yup.

  3. I'm totally in agreement with the other two...she just doesn't want to spend any time away from her momma bear! :)Andddd when she's with your friends she knows if she takes a nap it makes the time go more quickly before she gets to see you again. Lilly's just a reaallly smart baby. :)

    Also, I'm soooo getting the sephora stuff...today...Okay not today but when i get my next paycheck. lol! :)

  4. I agree maybe Lilly just wants to spend more time with you so she doesnt want to nap. That picture is fabulous!

  5. hey there, i was going through bailey's design site (i had mine done by her a while ago), and i saw that you were the featured design. love it, by the way. and i think you're so cute, and so is lilly. i have two boys and i love them but they are smelly and gross and i've always wanted a daughter, so i just live vicariously through my friends with girls.

    anyway, i think it's great that you blogged about taking lexapro. i've suffered from ppd and along with antidepressants, speaking out about the disorder was the one of the biggest factors in my recovery. i hope the same goes for you.
