Little Baby Kinard: Spring Forward

I love springing forward. Yes, we lose an hour of sleep, but we get more daylight. I wish it would stay this way year round. I mean, we aren't living in the oldin' days where farmers need the sun to tell them whether or not it's time to go home.

Vivian woke at 7:30 this morning, which means our day has been off. She normally wakes around 6:30/7 am and that's what I like. We have a precise schedule with eating and sleeping.

We made our way to 8:45 church service which worked out for her. She wasn't too fussy during her stay at nursery. Usually she is crying all the way home because she wants to eat and nap. Today she was a happy little camper all the way home. I fed her a little after 10 am and was hoping she would nap. Not so much.

We played for a while and then took Brody on a very long walk in hopes she would nap then. Score. It worked! It did not take her long to fall asleep. Mom and I walked for about an hour and then she opened her beautiful blue eyes. We got home at 12:30.

I fed her again trying to get her back on track, but it was like pulling teeth for her to finish her bottle. We went into the kitchen and I gave her an animal cracker to give to Brody for being a good boy on his walk. When I first gave it to her she tried to eat it, ha. I showed her what to do and then she fed Mr. B. They are going to be the bestest friends! If you give him any food, he will love you forever.

After Brody's reward, we let Vivian play on her activity table. She's been wanting to let go and stand on her own for a few seconds, but not long enough to take a picture. Today she decided to be super brave.
