But seriously, I see so many mamas asking me about food choices, naps, fussiness, weight gain, yadda yadda. And my answer is always the same, whatever works best for your family. At her age, 2 naps a day are just perfect and you'll eventually wean down to 1, crazy how big she's getting! And if you miss one of those, no worries, she'll sleep just as much as she needs, please don't be a hermit, I love the fact that you still get her out and about and don't turn into a "my baby rules my life" kind of a person. God has given June an awesome immune system and is busy developing it right now, and babies are super sponges for developing antibodies. All of the vaccines and exposures now in life while it's immature will help her to be SO much better when preschool and school come around, and healthier in the long run. Rinsing the paci- yah probably so, but boiling and sending it through the super microbial rinse, nah, you got it just right and don't feel bad about it one bit for stressing. You are just a great mama that has June's best interest at heart and that's awesome to see! I loved Brittany's post above, so true, and I wonder how we all turned out alright, even with regular baby food and formula, ha! Love ya girl, would still love to try to do lunch one of these days! :)Joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17843214282310080438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6836965211057424362.post-24177516165380826922011-04-15T10:45:34.425-05:002011-04-15T10:45:34.425-05:00hahah I love this post!!!

Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. " ~~I Peter 5:6-7<br /><br />what a wonderful, wonderful mommy you are... june is quite possibly the luckiest little bug on the planet to have you as her mommy!!<br /><br />hugs & more hugs & more hugs...<br />brittany :o)<br /><br />ps - hope to see you guys at easter!grierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10113942978928856733noreply@blogger.com
