Vacation, where are you?!

I surrender to my one year old! This week has been, well let's say a challenge. I can close my eyes and remember the newborn days of her sleeping 10 hours at night and good naps during the day....up until she hit about 6 months and ever since we have many up and down nights and naps are becoming a thing of the past. I am on day 6 of Ava with no nap and just about 4 hours of sleep at night. Jenna even tried to make a "magic potion" to get Ava to take a nap but unfortunately that was not a success either. I keep telling myself, this too shall pass as all phases do but after a week straight of a fussy, tired baby girl this Momma is worn out! We are trying to do a little modified CIO today but she definitely has more will than I do and after screaming for what seem like eternity I reluctantly rescued her from the horrible mistreatment of nap time...what I wouldn't give for a daily nap! Maybe it wouldn't be so bad if without her nap she is a whiny mess to deal with this week so here I stand with my hands up, I give up! This is just one of many battles my girls test me with daily! I need a vacation!
