Big Girl Bed!

That's right! I made the move to my big girl bed on Sunday :) Mom ordered the conversion kit for my crib about 4 months ago, but it finally came in and she decided it was time to try it. Off came the front rail of the crib and on went the bed rail. I was SO excited that I couldn't get out of mom's way while she was trying to put it together. She *finally* got it tightened up enough and let me climb in. I put all of my toys, books, blankets, and pillows in bed and was so proud of myself :) I've done great and haven't gotten out of bed at all at night and have actually slept through the night for 4 nights in a row now! That's the first time in probably 6+ months, so mom and I are feeling *much* more rested. I've only had one nap so far since I've been at school all week, but I slept for 2.5 hours on Sunday afternoon (that's a pretty good nap for me!) and when I got up, I opened my dresser drawers and was playing with the diapers that were folded in the drawer. If that's all mom has to worry about, she's ok with that. That's easy enough to clean up and there's not much else I can get in to in my room. These aren't the best photos, but this was me the first morning that I woke up in my big girl bed.

Still sleeping...



Just wakin' up...



I guess I should update on the past few weeks! Memorial Day weekend was pretty busy. Mom ran another 5K on Saturday morning and beat her previous time by over 2 minutes, but she thinks the course distance was off by about a tenth of a mile. Still a pretty good race, though. I gave her a big "Hooray mommy!" when she got home :)

Mom and dad *finally* introduced strawberries to me and I adore them. They were waiting to give them to me because they are so allergenic, mom's mom had issues with strawberries, and given my issues with dairy, they are trying to be extra careful with what I eat. Thankfully I didn't have a reaction to strawberries, so they took me to a local orchard to go strawberry picking on Sunday. I call them "strawbubbies" and could eat them by the pound if mom would let me.

Here's me picking a strawbubby off of the vine.



Me and daddy with our buckets of berries!

Here are some other photos from the past few weeks:

I found the "soccer horn" and have figured out how to make it sound funny.



I love books at bedtime :)



I wake up happy and with HORRIBLE bedhead! Mom doesn't want to cut my hair again, but it gets quite crazy while I sleep.



Daddy and I waiting to get in to the VA Wine Festival. He was trying to plan out which booths we were going to stop at. Thankfully mom and dad let me stop at the Balloon Lady on the way out and she made me a Kitty Cat! The Kitty Cat is still inflated and is "sleeping" on the shelf in my bedroom. We had so much fun at the Wine Festival! Uncle Jay was so much fun and Molly and Baby Huie walked around with me for a while and kept me occupied :) Mom and Molly got me a frozen Cherry Limeade to cool me off and it was so yummy.



Eating sushi with mom while dad was out of town. I had a vegetable roll and actually enjoyed it once mom cut it up :)



My kitty and blankie - two necessities for bedtime...



Last weekend I got to spend an afternoon and evening with Ms. Laurie, Mr. Chad and Zachary!!! Ms. Laurie was my favorite teacher at school and she so graciously agreed to let me stay at her house while mom and dad went out for the evening. They went to see Thurgood at the Kennedy Center which they say was truly amazing. Mom and dad can not thank Laurie ("Lolly") enough. She is a wonderful friend and I'm so happy to know her.

Hope everyone is doing well! Hopefully I'll have some more time to update in the coming weeks / months. Take care!
