The new "Big Girl" room

So, here it is! Anabelle's new room.

And here she is! The cutest girl in the world with her favorite blankie!

She loves everything about her new room and hasn't looked back once at the nursery!

Play time with friends

Well, the rain has finally stopped and I've finally stopped working so Anabelle and I are able to get out and play! This morning we went to the playground and the nature center with her friends Ella (2 months older than Anabelle) and Geena (3 months younger). They had lots of fun, but trying to get a good picture of 3 1-year olds is next to impossible!

And finally, a picture of "Little Miss Personality!"

She did it!

Anabelle made it through the whole night in her new bed and new room!!! We were wishing we had a peep hole to see how (or where!) she was sleeping, but I'm pretty sure she just stayed in the bed the entire time.
She did wake up about an hour earlier than usual but when I went to get her she was just sitting up in bed hanging out! Then she didn't want to get out of bed, just read books while we laid there!
Now, she's taking her nap and so far, no problems!! I hope I don't jinx it, but it seems like it all went very smoothly!
It is a little bitter sweet though. I can't believe how fast our little girl is growing up!

First night in the Big Girl bed!

Alright, we made the leap! We just put Anabelle down to sleep in her new Big Girl bed in her new room! It's been in the works for a while and Anabelle has had fun "visiting" her new room, so hopefully this big transition will be an easy one!
Amazingly, she went down without a single sound. Hopefully the rest of the night goes just as well.
We'll update you on how it goes and we'll get some pictures up of her new room (it's super-cute, if I do say so myself)!

Anabelle and her princess bike

As you may know, Anabelle LOVES to be outside. And she has a blast on her bikes (yes, plural. She has a few.) She can't quite reach the pedals yet but she's okay with that. And check out her new shoes! Fun times all around!

Happy Mother's Day

Despite the look on Anabelle's face, she had a nice Mother's Day with her mommy! It's just that she really, really likes the camera ... as a toy - she wants to look at the pictures rather than have them taken! It makes for a difficult time of getting a good pic!

Eventually, she obliged and kinda smiled!

I can say though that I am a very lucky mom! Anabelle is the best! And she makes Mother's Day super-special, no matter what!

35 week doctor appointment

Maggie had another doctors appointment today and everything is still on track. Although she seems like she's HUGE her weight and size are right on track. The baby also seems like she is hanging out super low. The doctor confirmed that when he started searching for the heartbeat. He started at the normal height and kept moving lower till he found it and said, "WOW, this baby is really low."
Grandmas, stay calm though. Your next baby girl still has a some time before she says HI.

Maggie has started to feel a little more uncomfortable though. Nothing specific or major, just everything is a little rougher. Luckily though she has been sleeping really well so that makes the days easier to deal with.
