Crazy week

So this week started on Sunday with Julia not taking a nap. Now this happens once in a blue moon and thats just kind-of the way it goes, but it really isn't the norm at all. I should also explain that I have taken Julia's binks (pacifiers) away, but on Sunday she still had it so I can't blame it on the bink. Monday Julia was super tired and never asked for her bink so I decided to just put her down without it...no problem at all she slept great and again went to bed great that night without it. Now Tuesday on is another story. Tuesday she was really fussy and really wanted the bink so I decided that she must not be ready to give it up yet so I gave it to her for nap time...and she didn't sleep, unstead cried. So I decided to let her play a little longer and hope that would tired her out then put her down. When I went to put her down again she did not want to go, I decided whether she sleeps or not she is going to lay down and not get her bink. Since Tuesday Julia has not had her bink and not taken a nap. That is one nap in 5 days!!! Ahhhh!! There is no way she has grown out of naps, but it sure is a weird thing. Everyday instead she has gotten her 2 hours brake in her crib and I can just listen to her talk...it's actually pretty cute, but still a nap would be nice. So, finally today she took a nap. And still no bink. So, I figure that now it might be because she doesn't have her bink that she hasn't been taking naps, but I have put too many days in to give it back now.

Here's some random pictures from this week.

For some reason Julia has been running into walls and chairs lately. Its really doesn't faze her, but she does get some nasty bruises. Here's the latest. That bruise is about the size of a quarter!
