big girl

Well, our baby is 21 months old and has graduated to a big girl bed! Our other kids climbed out of their cribs at this age and she was pretty close to it. Since her crib was on a tile floor, we decided to move her before she fell on her head. So she and Mackenzie now share a room. We didn't want to spend a fortune on a toddler bed, so Daddy used his scrap wood and made her this:



I can hardly believe she's old enough for this! A quick little update on Kylie: Oh, where to begin...This girl is full of personality. Has the same stubborn streak as her sister. (I apologize to Donathan all the time for the gene that I passed on to them.) She is talking up a storm, dances around, loves to look at books and, unfortunately, really likes to watch videos. She is such a cuddlebug and loves playing with her brother and sister. And she's a little spiderman-scales everything in this house, including standing on the windowsill in her bedroom when she's supposed to be napping. By far, she is the pickiest eater I've ever encountered, including my younger self. And the temper tantrums...well, I won't even go into that. But overall, she just makes us laugh and smile and we're so thankful for her!

love that bed... if only I could have half of Dono's carpentry and construction talent...

Kylie looks happy in her new bed!
