Big Girl Bed

6:46 PM

So we are now officially ready for a big girl bed.... want to know how I know....

6:23pm: Kaylee starts to through an enormous fit because it is time to come inside for dinner

6:24pm: I put her in timeout (in her crib) for her to calm down

6:25pm: I turn and start walking down the hall and I hear "WHOOO.....CRASH"
I run back in the room and Kaylee is lying face down on the ground!
SHE HAD JUMPED OUT OF HER CRIB!!!

I have heard people say "you will know when they are ready because they start to climb out of their crib" but honestly........she didn't CLIMB she JUMPED!!

So the search is on for a big girl bed. For the time being we are going to take the front railing off of her crib until we find something great!

I am relieved there was no blood, no broken bones.... just a mild case of rug burn on her face from when she hit the ground. My poor baby girl!! :)

Vaction mode.....

1:10 PM

So our little family took a vacation about two weeks ago now and I am just now slowly coming out of vacation mode. I still have a week and a half before FALL quarter starts so I have been completely relaxing and enjoying my mommy daughter time.

At the end of August we ventured the 8hrs south to Redding California to visit my parents and my grandma Jean. Surprisingly we had a great car ride. I was really worried how Kaylee would do but for half the trip she slept and the other half she read her books and watched her shows. I do have to say that I broke down and took the portable DVD player.

I remember before I had Kaylee I thought... "Why do the kids need TV in the car too.... can't they find other things to do...we didn't get to bring a video player when we did our long car rides when I was a kid." Then I realized whoever invented the portable DVD player must be a parent.... and my new bestie. :)

We had a great time in Redding. It has been almost a year since my family has seen us. The best part..... we relaxed the entire time. Kaylee loved playing in the pool!
