Emily's New Big Girl Bed

Since we couldn't have Emily continue to escape out of her crib and risk hurting herself, we decided it was time for a "big girl" bed.  Emily now has Eric's old bed from when he was a kid.  She thinks the bed it pretty cool....during the day time.  She still fought at night last night for about 15 minutes.  She even "un-childproofed" a child-proof door knob lock.  In the end she fell asleep in her bed and stayed in there all night!  Hopefully the nights continue to get better with no fighting.

Emily - Our Escapee

Emily has learned how to escape from her crib!! :(  Last night she managed to get out of her crib 6 times in a matter of 15 minutes and refused to lay back down in her crib.  She finally fell asleep in her rocking chair with her blanket and a couple of books.  I had hoped the day wouldn't come.  She didn't even stay in her crib after I put her in it last night once she fell asleep.  I woke up to her in the middle of the night escaping so she ended up sleeping the rest of the night with us.

Big girl bed here we come.....let's just hope she doesn't give us a problem about staying in her room.

Emily's Birthday

We celebrated Emily's 2nd birthday on 9/15 with a Minnie Mouse themed party.  My mom made Emily her adorable Minnie Mouse party dress.  Annette made a super cute Minnie Mouse pinata that was almost too cute to hit.  Emily had a GREAT time.  Here are a few pictures of the fun day.  Hard to believe our little baby is 2 years old already.
