Sleeping....Gigi's Bed (by Mama)

Gigi has been in our bedroom (in our bed) since she was 10 months old. We hadn't planned on it that way. She slept in her crib from 5 months - 10 months and in a bassinet before that. At 10 months, she was sick and we had her in our bed and somehow she never left.

Now, she refers to our bed as her bed. For example, "Mama, do you want to come in my bed with me?"

In September when Grandma and Grandpa and Mema and Pepa were here for her birthday, we had a Queen-sized blow up bed in her room where Grandma and Grandpa slept. After they left, she called it "Grandpa's bed". She had an interest in sleeping there. Great! So, we left it up. The interest waned and back in our bed she was.

Today, Allen was putting together her new bed in her room (not the blow up bed - "Grandpa's bed"). She came into the room, looked puzzled and said, "Is that for baby brother?" We said, "No, that's Gigi's new bed!!!" with huge excitement. Well, so far, she is very excited about it. She wanted to get in it right away (of course, we haven't bought the mattress yet). Instead, she was helping Allen put it together..... and said "Yay, yay, yay!"

Let's see if this continues to go smoothly....more to come.

Sunday Morning Picnic with my Baby and Daddy

I always have my backpack filled with snacks. I had a pear, orange, banana and trail mix. I found a blanket, put my princess dress on and invited my baby over for a picnic on the floor. Later, Daddy joined us!
