change is a good thing

lots of changes happened over the weekend. i stopped the morning nursing session, which is really strange. now we give her a sippy cup of milk and formula along with a snack cup of cheerios. she LOVES her snack cup. she seemed to be ok with the changes. we bought a few new cups for her to try out too since we are officially done with bottles. yay! no more bottles to clean. wait, now we have to wash sippy cups. oh well. the switch over to milk seems to be going well too. organic, lactose free, whole milk. over the next few weeks the amount of milk will increase and formula will decrease. eventually, i will also wean her of the nursing session at bedtime. i really can't wrap my head around trying to put her to sleep without nursing her, but we will have to deal with that when the time comes. hopefully bath time, a book and some milk with make her just as sleepy.
we also bought a new car seat this weekend too. the convertible seat is a more comfortable and larger seat for her. when she turns two, she will be able to face forward too. this will be helpful instead of both of us carring the infant car seat in and out of the car when we drop/pick her off at school. i actually pulled a muscle carrying it the other day. that was fun. perfect timing with my coughing pneumonia fits.
she was in a really good mood this weekend. her appetite was back. bath time was so much better without the screaming and she got some good quality time with her daddy and papa too. harper amazes us every day.
