So, I've eased off on the crib napping attempts, mostly because we've been out and about. But we did start our new earlier bed routine last night! We had been trying to get her down earlier a few months back, but it just drifted later and later, until it was 8:30-9:00ish most nights. Yesterday, she had a great day, with a couple naps in the car which I extended buy listening to the radio in the Costco parking lot, and then keeping the car door and the house door open (with the dog on watch duty) while I unloaded and put away groceries. She did go down for the night pretty easy at that earlier time, though the wakeups were not so great after that. Hopefully we can get her used to sleeping for longer stretches once she gets into the early to bed routine.
Yesterday's Costco trip was our first solo (without Lonnie) trip since Emma was born. Ha! The thought of wrangling baby and cartons of foodstuffs was more than I could handle until now. But Emma is now very able and happy to ride in the cart (yahoo!) which makes a big difference. She lasted until we were in line, where she began screeching so I got her into the Kozy Carrier on my front to nurse. The elderly Asian grandparents with toddler in tow behind us rushed to help unload my cart for me, which was really nice. Look at what we scored for 25 bucks, too!
I think it was a return, and the guy who did the price check marked it down for me since there was only one of them. She loves it! It is all wood and has a whole bunch of wood, cloth and plastic blocks in it. She's not quite ready to walk with it on her own but loves pushing it with help, or crawling around/on it by herself.
