BIG GIRL NOW!!!

In March we finished Kiki's BIG GIRL ROOM!!! It was great, and we were so happy to have it finished. At the same time we were not yet ready to move into the room. We moved all of her clothes into the room, put all of her toys in the room, but we still had her sleeping in the nursery. To be honest, we always had some reason for not moving her into her new room. The truth was that she could get out of her BIG GIRL BED and that was an issue. She never attempted to get out of her crib, so by keeping her in the crib we were fine. Well the time has come to move her into her new room. Her baby brother is growing out of the bassinet and ready for the crib and she was getting sick of the crib. So last night we set up the monitors and moved her into her new room. I was so nervous, but she did great. She loves her bed and slept through the night. When she woke up at 8:20 A.M. she simply knocked on her door and said ,"Knock, Knock...Kiki is up now!" So cute. She was so proud of herself for her big accomplishment. We are proud of her as well. I can't believe how quickly she is growing up. It feels like yesterday we were bringing her home from the hospital and introducing her to the dog. I remember her first night in her crib and the first time we fed her solids. Now she eats with us in a big girl chair, sleeps in a big girl bed, and is a big sister!! Wow two years have brought a lot of changes for us, but with the changes have come moments of extraordinary pride for our BIG GIRL!!! Love you KIKI!! =)

Such a BIG GIRL now!

As you can see from Kiki's pictures, she has a lot of hair. She was born with a full head of hair and it was and still is thick. With that said she had her 4th (for a 1 1/2 year old) hair cut today. The past three haircuts she has sat on my lap and been very good. Today she sat on a booster seat all by herself. She is such a BIG GIRL now. She was so proud of herself and so good. I did not have my camera with me so I took the picture with my cell phone. Her hair cut looks great and makes her look older. I cannot believe how quickly she is growing. It really is going by too quickly, but each milestone has been so much fun.
