Brookes big girl bed!!

I sold the crib Saturday.  Yesterday (sunday) I painted some stripes on Brookes wall.  It was a lot of work and even tho her room didnt come out as I imagined it still looks super cute.  I keep my self from staying too long in her room because then my OCD traits start to come out and I don't want to bother because I'll just drive myself crazy. 

Last night was her first night in it and she did so awesome!  I walked her back to her room and put her up on her bed and told her to go night night like we do every night and I turned on her projector and music and walked out.  I didnt hear anything until 1230 this morning.  I went back in there and told her to lay back down and she did and I didn't hear anything from her until 6:30 this morning!!  For the last 3 months I have lost sleep because she didn't want to sleep in her crib and I wasn't sure what exactly she was trying to tell me.  I thought it may have been since Daniel has always slept with us and that she may have wanted to too.  Next time I will trust my motherly instincts!

Brooke is turning 2!

This morning I took the kids to the park.  Before getting the park I pulled off into a green area so I could take some pictures of Brooke for her Evite.  She has def come around to taking pictures.  She used to not look at me when taking pictures.  Now its hard to get a pic without the cheesy smile she gives me...I guess beggers can't be choosers!

Daniel has always been really good about taking pictures.  He wanted me to snap him.

And with Caleb...

Building Brookes Big Girl Bed!

We got Brooke a big girl bed, So on Christmas Eve Chris decies to put the bed together.  It didnt take us long.  Daniel sure enjoied helping out.  He loves building stuff with his dad.  Since making this bed she is yet to sleep in it.  We are still trying to sell her crib and dresser/changing table so we can have the money to go get her a mattress.  Plus, this furniture stinks!  It came new in the box but its hard to imagine how furniture new can stink so badly!  So we are hoping that the smell goes away soon so her clothes don't smell.

Now the trundle.

 And Brooke was sleeping (how else could we put it together so fast?), Daniel wanted some credit for helping put it together - so he wanted to pose with the bed.

And then he wanted me to get a picture of him on his bike....
