Things, They Are A'changing

Oh, for the love of all things good.... Abigail's bed finally arrived. It took a full 6 weeks to get here. Whew! They did make it by hand but the time it took made it seem like they went to India to pick out the thread. After days and days of talking this bed business up, it finally got here. Although she seemed more than ready, she probably wasn't as ready as I was to get Ford out of our room and into the crib that Abby has been in. "It's here, guys! Right in here!"

It quickly became a "hurrah! hurrah!" family affair with grandmama taking pictures (thank you!)...

Getting ready to plop the 89 pounder down...

Giving it a nice little jump to see if it sizes up...

Trying it out together...

With only a sheet, both Alice the blabla and bun bun love it, too.

And we've never looked back! She stays in bed (this could change at a moment's notice, right?) at night but hardly naps during the day. Perhaps it's because it's as bright as the noon day sun in her room at naptime. We're taking care of that (thank you black out shades!). Another big hurdle accomplished. Honestly, when I think back to two years ago -- to my 8 pound, 4 month old girl getting ready to have open heart surgery, I can't believe how far she's come. I know -- it's just poop in a toilet and sleeping in a big bed, but to me... it's everything. 396. chocolate chip cookies 397. hello kitty (pictures to come) 398. sleeping for at least a few hours without being touched by a child 399. remembering our trip to austin. bliss!
