Look Where I Found Her!

Earlier this week when I went into the girls' room to wake them up I noticed Emma's bed was empty. At first it freaked me out because that was where she should be, obviously! I went back to my room to check that she wasn't in there and I just missed her. Nope. I checked closer in her bed. Nope. I checked Eli's bed. Nope. The last place I figured she may have gone was to Kayla's room to her bed. On my way to Kayla's room....

Here is where I found her!

She had grabbed both of her pillows (yep she sleeps like that every night!) and went to the couch! When I woke her up and asked her what she was doing out there her response was "because I was hangin' out"! Not sure who she thought she was going to hang out with in the early morning hours but she must have gotten bored!

And on to the big girl bed

We have figured out in Emma's short little life that she is one of those people that will do the job....once she is darn good and ready to do it. She won't warn you, tell you that she is ready to do the job. She will just do it. I decided this weekend that we needed to push this issue of getting Emma out of her crib because Hailey shouldn't be in her bassinet anymore because she is a chunky monkey. So the crib came down on Saturday. I let her take part. Though she wasn't really interested. But she did hang out in her room while Kayla and I took it all down. Saturday night, the girl cried for close to an hour. JR asked at one point how long I thought it would take her to figure out she could get out of the bed. But she never did! The girl stayed in her bed and cried. She fell asleep, and stayed that way until early Sunday morning (thank you stupid daylight savings time for coming to an end!) when she did get out of bed on her own. Sunday night, she went to bed just fine and did fine last night. When she wakes up in the morning, if you ask her where her crib is, she tells you it went bye-bye. We will leave it down for at least a month and let Hailey sleep in her pack-n-play. We haven't actually put Hailey in their room yet just to make sure Emma will continue to do good every night.

Sleeping

As I took all the pictures off my camera this evening I happened to notice there were several pictures of sleeping people. I guess I was just enjoying the quiet time so much I decided to snap pictures! Just kidding! Once you see these pictures you will see why I took them!

Emma with her baby Sarah sleeping on her chest. And only 2 blankets instead of the 5+ she was sleeping with every night during the summer!

My little snuggle bug Hailey. She still loves to be swaddled for sleeping at night.

Yep, she is sleeping like that. If she gets fussy all JR has to do is put her near his face and talk softly to her and it usually settles her right down. This time, it settled her so much she fell asleep!

Eli and Mal....the dog really thinks he is human. He was on his back and snuggling up in Eli's neck!

Eli rocked her to sleep this morning while I was in the shower. Big brothers rock! Oh and just look at how much she looks like him!
