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!! =)

It has been awhile

It has been awhile and there has been a big change in my life since I last wrote. My son K Z was born in April. He has been such a great addition to the family and his big sister K loves him (sometimes too much). He looks just like his daddy and has his temperament, too. KZ is a laid back baby, but when he is mad you know it. I cannot believe he is two months already. His life is already flying by me. The past two months have been filled with a lot of laughs, a lot of discipline for his older sister, and a lot of love. K is enjoying her little brother, but is also jealous of him. Who can blame her, her whole world has been turned upside down. Tonight she wanted me to feed her her dinner. She has not wanted me to do that since she was one. What can you do, we are all adjusting.

My son is such a pleasure to know. His pregnancy was really tough on me since it was high risk, but it was worth it. I could not imagine my family without him in it. He has completed our family and brought such joy to our lives. He has this amazing smile that warms your heart and he recently found his giggles. SO CUTE!!! I cannot say enough about him. He is just so adorable. His big sister calls him her baby and gets really concerned when he cries and cracks up when he giggles. It is amazing to see the two of them together and I hope they always have a close relationship. I feel so lucky to have them and I hope they always feel loved and safe in their lives.
