She's a Big Girl Now

Its now official, Angie is a big girl. She has moved into her "big girl bed". We wanted to accomplish this long before Caleb was born so that she wouldn't feel like he "stole" her bed. She has been in the toddler bed for about a week and a half. She is doing great. Occasionally she falls out (we have pillows on the floor) but ususally she stays in her bed all night long and during all of her naps. When she does fall or get out of bed during the night, she just lays down on the floor on the pillows and goes back to sleep.

I think she really enjoys her new "big girl room" because she has a lot of toys at her level and I think it makes her feel more independent. I do think we have hit the terrible two's already though. She will go to touch something that she knows is off limits and will look at me the whole time to see if I am watching and what I will do about it. I even think she rolled her eyes at me the other day! She is talking up a storm although we still don't understand most of what she says. She is getting better at repeating words we say though. Just yesterday I got her to say "please". I don't think she knows how to use it correctly yet, but she will learn. She goes to the doctor tomorrow for her (can you believe it) 18 month check up. I'll update after that with all of her new pertinent information (i.e. has she actually gained weight).

On the baby front, little Caleb is very active. He just loves to kick mommy all the time. He seems to be quite strong already so I am not sure what to expect once he is born. We heard his heartbeat again on Friday and he is doing just fine. I have to have my glucose screen the next time I go for an appointment and get my Rhogam shot since I have a negative blood type.

I guess that's all for now. I'll post again tomorrow after Angie's appointment. Here are some pics of her "big girl room". Hope you enjoy!
