Projects

I have been in the process of fixing up Blake and Easton's rooms. I painted Blake's a teal color a few shades lighter than what is in her new comforter. (it just looks blue in the picture)I also made her bow holder and put together the artwork for above her new big girl bed.
She has been sleeping here since we came back from my parents and is doing great! She calls for me just the same as she did from her crib and will sit and wait until I get there. I hope that continues and she doesn't learn to roam the house during the night. She has transitioned so easily into the big girl bed/no daddoo/potty training. I couldn't be happier!

The nursery was so easy to turn into Easton's. We planned for bedding that could be for a boy or girl, so I just turned the pink drawers blue, and made his initial above his crib. He has also transitioned to his new room nicely! We moved him over the night Blake moved over.
The dresser for Blake.... and now for Easton.
I still need to paint a mirror for Blake and do a couple things, but so far so good!

Last Week

Tim was out of town for work last week, so Blake, Easton and I stayed a few days and a couple nights at my parents' house. We had so much fun and it was nice to have the help and company!
It was extremely windy so we didn't get to play outside, but we saw the new colts next door and Blake could help Poppa with his chores. I didn't bring the pack 'n play for Easton so we made a bed from a dresser drawer. Blake thought it was great fun!
Life is so hard right now being so cute...
Blake loves her "Easty Ray" and kisses him all the time.

Big Girl

Well the daddoo is gone (although Blake still talks about it breaking). I should add that Blake threw it away all on her own without being told! We have also started potty training. Since I'm home all day, Blake started wearing underwear yesterday and she did not like feeling her wet pants with 2 accidents. She has gone #1 several times and went #2 for the first time this morning. The feeling made Blake a little unsure and upset, but she was finally successful and so proud! Several phone calls were made, and Blake squealed with delight and danced in celebration. Sorry if this is TMI, but it's important to document for me. Also know that the potty is clean in the picture, but Blake wanted to show off her new Elmo seat!

Other March Happenings

Since the computer was not cooperating, here are some pictures from March that I did not get to post on time.

People have been asking how Blake is doing with a new brother around. I tell everyone that she is great, a big helper and is really like a little momma. She tells me what to do alot "pick up Easton, crying" or "Easton daddoo, crying" when he cries, or tells me "Easton diap diap, powder (don't remember how she pronounces that right now)" when she watches me change his diaper. Blake always says "watch" and will sit where she can see everything I do to take care of him. She always makes sure he has a blanket on him, and loves to turn on all his toys, his play mat, swing, bounce seat when I put him in them. She is a great little helper!Meanwhile, Easton is just great! He is my little snuggle bug.
Blake is a ham for the camera these days. I'm trying to best to take good movies to have good family memories. She can say "camera" now and is often handing me either the regular one or movie camera to take her picture with. The faces she gives are so funny!Blake loves riding her horse (when she can't ride a real one!) and says "clip clop clip clop" over and over or "giddy up!" and sometimes calls the cows.
I am in the process of redoing our guest room into Blake's new room so I can move Easton into the nursery. Our master bedroom is so little that it is cramped with Easton and all of his stuff in there, too! Hopefully the painting will be finished this weekend, which is the last of the big stuff left to do in Blake's room. I've been moving all her stuff into this room to try to get her excited about it. But she loves coloring and playing in here so far!

And this last picture is older, but is so cute. One day at my parents house, Easton was sleeping and my mom brought out this Moses basket that my sister and I used for our dolls when we were little. Easton was small enough to fit in it too!

Daddoo Drama

The saga continues as we continue to wean Blake from the pacifier. Naptime has remained good as Blake totally accepted only having the daddoo at night. But she is transitioning to only one nap a day so it's not always a long one. I've been reading about all the ways to wean thinking I would limit the time until we were at no time with it, but I talked to my mom today about parents who cut the tip off the pacifier for their child... I decided to try it and just pepare myself for the tears. I cut the pacifier off while Blake wasn't looking and put it back in its spot. Tonight getting ready for bed, the time arrived. Blake picked up her dadoo and went to put it in her mouth and said "oh no!" She showed me and I told her it was broken. It was hard to keep a straight face as she tried desperately to suck on the little bit left. She asked for Easton's and had to go show Daddy what happened. We told her it was just broken and she cried for a little bit, but she didn't want to throw it away. She wanted to hold it. So she went to bed without crying saying "oh well, broken" just holding it in her hand. Success? We'll see.
