Big Girl's Bed!

Linking with Rock-A- Bow's Toddler Talk Tuesday. You should do it too!

Today I decided it was time to change Lauren's crib into a bed. So me and her (while daddy was at work) got the rail and the tools and started changing it. It was very simple and easy but while I was doing it I was explaining how she is a becoming a big girl now and she is now able to sleep on a bed instead of a crib.

I was actually a little nervous about it, and I still am as she is sleeping there by her self for the very first night now :0) Nervous about her not wanting to want to sleep and getting of her bed because now she can, also concern about her falling off the bed (I put pillows around her bed in case she does!) but she took her nap there today and did very well and by that I mean she actually fell asleep and didn't fall of the bed!

Well, as soon as I finished putting it together she jumped right on it and when I asked her -Do you like your new bed my love? she said - "I like it mama! Like it too much!" lol!
She says the cutest things!

So right now I sneaked into her room and snapped a few pics of my "Big Girl" loving her new bed. I'm such a cry baby, I cry every time she hits a milestone and this is a big one for me! My baby is growing way too fast!

Excited for her "Big Girl's Bed"

Also, during the weekend Grandma brought her a gift, her two favorite Toy Story characters Woody and Jessie! She already had a horse that she named Bullsey, so today she decided to watch Toy Story 3 (for the 1000 time!) but this time with her new best friends! She is so adorable sorry I gotta say it ha!

She wouldn't even look at me for the picture haha!

Holding her new friends :0)

Toddler Talk Tuesday

So my friend Kristen from Rock -A- Bow had a great idea about sharing your experiences {funny, crazy and lovely ones} as a toddler parent or caregiver.
If you have anything you would like to share don't be shy do it here!
I don't know if I'm doing this right but I thought it would be nice to give it a try, that way I will have something to write about every Tuesday!
Because this is my first Toddler Talk Tuesday I would like to use it to introduce you my daughter Lauren.
She is a very bright little girl, and I'm not just saying this because she is my daughter but because sometimes I honestly believe she is so much smarter than me lol.
Anyhow, let me tell you about her little life. I found out I was pregnant with her 1 month after I got married, she was quite a surprise for my husband and I. She has always been very independent and a little wild.
I guess some people will say she's not an "easy" baby because she would never sit still, but to me she is just a happy normal child, a very energetic one.
Since she was in my belly she was moving and interacting with us. We used to play a game with her when I was about 7 months pregnant, we would tap my belly on one side and she would tap back from the inside! I'm serious, your probably thinking I'm exaggerating but ask my husband he will tell you!
We knew she was a very special child.
The day she was born she was crying so loud and as soon as the nurse gave her to me I talked to her {the way I used to when she was in my belly} and she stopped crying, open her eyes and gave me the sweetest little smile I've ever seen. She stole my heart that day and she will have it forever.
From day that on my life has been so wonderful, she makes my day everyday with every little thing she does and says.
She is a little talker now and everyday will crack me up with the things she says. I can't wait till next week to tell you more about her!
For now I'll leave you with some pics of her little life with us.
