Elizabeth's New Bed!

Well the other day we decided that since we still had money left from one of our tax returns that we would buy Elizabeth a toddler bed while we had the money. The crib she had was falling apart (can't complain since we got all of her nursery furniture for $200 new). Elizabeth was so excited and as you can see wanted to help. She helped pull out the smaller wood pieces for James.

She was so interested in what James was doing that she somehow managed to get her head stuck between two of the boards that would hold the mattress up. Luckily we managed to get her head back out without soap or anything like that. Silly girl, right after we got her head free she tried to push it through the gap again!

Clay tried out the Johnny Jumper while we built the bed. He liked it a lot, but is still a little small for it on his own. He loves to sit up and look around now and isn't very happy about laying down in his bassinet. He also rolled over for the first time about 2 weeks ago. He just leaned over and did it over and over again. It was funny to watch.

Elizabeth LOVES her new toddler bed. She's taken to it immediately. We finished putting it together and making the bed with the new bedding she picked out (she went for pink princess rather than purple butterflies) and she started climbing all over it and laying on it. It was hilarious to watch. She did awesome last night sleeping on it. She slept for 5 hours before waking up and wanting to be held....of course it took us forever to figure that out so she was up for almost 2 hours, but then she slept on it again until we came into her room this morning. And she slept on it again for her nap today. It's kind of nice how change doesn't really bother her....I'm hoping when potty training comes along she's takes to it too (I know I'm dreaming).
