Riley slept in his crib all night!!!!
It all was unplanned, but I'm really excited, and if I'm completely honest with myself, a little bit sad. So . . . saturday night Joey had a migrane :( so he decided to lay down for a little bit before he had to leave for work. I nursed Riley to sleep and while I usually lay him down for the night in the middle of our bed surrounded by pillows, (I know I know I know!!! Don't say anything!), I couldn't because Joey was in there. So I put him in his crib and figured I'd move him when he woke up. But guess what??? He didn't wake up until 3:30am!!! :) I put him down at 5:30pm (early, I know) and he slept until 3:30, crazy! I hadn't gotten a chance to set up the baby monitors, so I slept like crap, (checking on him every hour or so), and honestly, I missed him. He's been sleeping with us since he was born. Don't even get me started on how Joey feels. He misses him too; granted he doesn't have to sleep with the boy snuggled up to his side, nursing him every time he stirs. But I think this is great progress! We needed our bed back to ourselves, I've been needing some undisturbed sleep, and the boy has proven the last 3 nights, he sleeps better alone. Now when he stirs, there's no boob there in his face, so he goes back to sleep; it's almost as if it was intended to be that way :)
What a rant! Sorry! This just felt kinda major. Good thing we got him sleeping on his own right before we move and are in the same room again, waka waka waka!
I did a bit more "pantry clearing cooking" today, with very yummy results! I've been obsessed with IHOP's Cream of Wheat pancakes for years, but everyone I know hates IHOP, so I never get to have them :( But I found the IHOP recipe online today, and I have a whole box of Cream of Wheat to plow through, so we had pancakes . . .
They were so yummy, with great, gritty texture :) I also made delicious caramelized apples to put on top of said gritty pancakes . . .
Tyler Florence was making them the other day on his show, so I had to give them a try. So sticky, sweet, yummy, amazing! We also had egg whites scrambled with turkey bacon and scallions. Healthy, but yummy-nummy!
Great way to start the day!
Riley and I also had a sleepover at Aunt Jackie's house on Friday night :) It was so fun! Jackie made her famous Bubble Up Pizza, so yummy! Even with a gimpy hand, she was still an amazing hostess :) And we watched "Get Him To The Greek" (super lame-o, don't waste your $), read magazines, and just talked. I will miss her more than words can say, but that girlie comes to California all the time, so we'll still be seeing her.
Tried Riley's Halloween costume on today . . .
a giraffe in honor of his true love Sophie :) Hand-me-down costumes are awesome! He was annoyed that I was trying it on him, but I wanted to make sure it still fit. Halloween falls the day after we move back, so it's the least of my worries.
It's getting close ya'll! Had to say goodbye to one of my favorite clients in the world today, Michelle Sidor :( I cried after she left, but only for a minute. It feels scary to say goodbye to such great clients, and hello to job uncertainty. I am hopeful, but nervous. Wish me luck! Less than 2 weeks left at Body Spa, yikes bikes!
