A big girl bed!!

 
We took off the front rail of Mia's crib so now she sleeps in a "big girl bed"! So far so good. Its been 2 nights and 3naps and she is actually staying in bed and sleeping through the night!

 
Trying out the new bed for the first time.

 
The girls cuddling in Mia's "new" bed. They are really starting to have fun together the past couple of weeks!

Look at all those teeth!

Birthday Party Take 2

 
We went to Chicago this weekend - Lanie had another birthday party with our families. She was a little more interested in her cake this time.

 
Always read the card first, dont just tear into your gifts!!

Our Good Friends

 
Marco, Vanessa and their mom Hilda came over to hang out while we were in Chicago. The 3 big kids had a great time playing together!

Clearly she enjoyed it!!

Big sister/little sister

 
Mia tries so hard to be a good big sister! Lanie even sat still while Mia tried to put her sock on!

Happy Birthday Lanie!

 
We had Lanie's first birthday party for her friends in the neighborhood on Sunday. She had a cold and wasnt much up for partying. She didnt even dig into her cake much. We are having another party with our families in Chicago this weekend. Santa also made a surprise appearance at the party (none other than our sitter's husband).

 
Dig In!

 
How many kids does it take to unwrap a present???

 
Mia was not a big fan of Santa. She did tell him what she wanted but was sure to keep her distance!

 
This was about as good as it got for poor old Santa!

 
Lanie was not a fan either!
