I'm a Big Girl Now!!

Sorry it has been a while since I posted anything. I went home to Idaho for nearly three weeks had tons of fun and did so much and just enjoyed spending time with my little brother. It ended all too suddenly and my sister-in-law was just way too sick with morning sickness to start a trek across the country! So my wonderful mom, who is the pro-driver, volunteered to help and we started on our way not knowing how the drive would go and believe it or not it was awesome we actually quite enjoyed ourselves! I think it helped that Addi was movied up for the journey and me and my mom rolled out a foam mattress and made us a little bed in the van! Only Brielle got a little frustrated but she was quite the trooper! Since we've been home all the classes I wanted to take were all ready full so I decided to hold off until next semester to start school and all the Ladies that were going to do the co-op preschool with me all backed out at the last second, so our once full year has now cleared up drastically! So Addi is doing some swim leasons and we have just been going to the Y every day and enjoying having a car to just go out and do whatever we want! Our little Miss Brie who is almost nine months old continues to constantly amaze us. She is determined to grow up and she is going to do it now! She is one determined little girl. She stands all by herself now and she even took a few steps yesterday! I thought that Addi walked too early at ten and a half months but to my amazement I think my little Brielle just might beat her!

Addi is loving swim lessons, we signed up for a class that was supposed to have 5 kids in it but they only had 2 sign up and then when we started classes the other little girl hasn't ever showed up so lucky little Addi has had one on one lessons and absolutely loves her teacher and of course being the little fish that she is, she has done so well!

I have been looking to get a Twin size bed for Addi for a long time, this little girl sleeps spread eagle and everytime I check on her before I go to bed half of her body is on bed the other half flailing out and her blanket and pillow on the other side of the room. So I was wanting a bed with tucked in sheets and blanket and the bed big enough for her to sleep spread out with out half falling out of bed. I really wanted a bed big enough that we could use forour guests when they come in town but this poor little teeny tiny room couldn't handle it so I found this little Trundle bed on Craigslist and thought it the answer. I could pull out the trundle and have a big bed when guests are here and then roll it back under and just have a cute little day bed for Addi! It was just black metal bars that didn't really match the cute little Bed spread that my mother in law gave me so I Spray painted it with hammered metal spray paint and I'm glad I did, it turned out way cute! We tested it last night, I tucked Addi in told her good night and went back in to check on her before I went to bed and VIOLA still tucked in tight and fast asleep!
