Big Girl Bed!

Well our transition to the "big girl bed" went very smooth and she slept her normal 8 hours! Dad, on the other hand, did not have it as easy and the first thing he said was "I feel like we are kicking her out of our room!" But she did really well and I know she loves the colors in her bed and of course her velour sheet! I think she knows that she is a "big girl" now and just sinks right into her bed when we put her down at night! The pack 'n play is now officially at Gran's for naps and a place of her own! This weekend we also had some tummy problems, but have fixed them with mineral oil in her bottles and just doing cereal one time a day instead of THREE! We also switched over to barley cereal instead of rice which seems to be better. She also got her first taste of white-grape juice and drank 2 ounces and then was really mad when she finished it, so I went ahead and gave her anouther 2 ounces. (You can only give them 4 ounces a day so she drank it all then!) She also got to taste squash over the weekend and LOVED it! This was the first time that she has actually opened her mouth before you got the spoon to her mouth and if you aren't fast enough, she starts making noises like "HURRY UP!" But she is still growing and changing! I can't believe that almost 5 months have passed and yet all the little things she does still surprise us! Today it was FREEZING cold this morning and I had her all bundled up to go to Gran's and then dad decided to wait the weather out and so we all went back to sleep for a little bit and she was in bed with me until I got up to get ready and then dad came in and laid with her! It was such a cute picture that I just had to capture it! Well hope everyone is keeping warm and enjoy the pictures!
