New beds!

We finally got Reese's birthday present all set up for her this weekend...her new queen bed!  But before we get to those pictures, here are few from earlier in the week.  Reese can still miraculously fit into her doll's stroller...haha.  She likes to sit in it and wheel herself all over the house.  Here, she was backing up all the way to the kitchen cabinets and then racing forward.  She has quite the imagination :)


These are from earlier last week before we did the bed switch.  Reese always likes to take things to bed with her.  Well...as you can see, the pink pony and the doll stroller made it into the bed with her.  I thought it was funny, and she kept looking at me like, "what?  what's the big deal?"  Of course, I had to take pictures :)


Saturday pool time...Paige played with the hose for a little bit while Reese went on a leaf hunt.  Paige is VERY into splashing and making messes these days.  I don't know why I bother putting her hair up for pool time or bath time.  It's soaking wet if there's water nearby.


Reese enjoyed herself by walking around and looking at the plants.  She did get in the pool, but only for a second to cool off.


Ummm...yeah.  Danger is her middle name.


Okay...new bed pics!  We showed Reese her bed last night before her bath, and she immediately loved it!  She had to jump on it and bounce around.  She buried herself underneath all her pillows and just had a great time.


Then, after bath time, she did more bouncing and jumping and hopping and burying herself.


Now that Reese has a queen, Pip now has Reese's twin.  We decided to do like we did with Reese and start with the mattress on the floor...mainly for safety reasons.  It worked really well with Reese.  So last night, Paige wasn't too sure at first...but once she got in it and realized how big and soft it was...she loved it!  Back for her birthday in February, I got her a new bed set with these cute horses.  She decided to throw out all her blankets & pillows just for fun...and I'd put them back, and she'd throw them back out.  She cracks me up!

****Those pink paint smudges on the wall are test paint spots.  I am planning on painting Paige's room this week and I wasn't sure what color.  I've since decided on blue, so hopefully by next weekend, the room will not be pastel yellow.  I'm very much over pastel baby nursery colors!  We will also be putting together Paige's new drawers & cubby shelves.  Bye-bye baby furniture!


This is what Reese today...played in her bed!  I'm so glad she loves it :)  She even lugged a couch cushion in there for her library time...haha.


This is what Paige did today...play in her bed by hanging upside down!  The story of my life...haha.  Silly kids!


Both girls slept great their first night in their new beds.  The hardest part is keeping Paige IN the bed.  She can get in and out now, so she thinks it's a game after she's supposed to lie down.  She gets right out and runs around her room like that Chucky doll.  She's so fast...a blur here and a blur there!  And she's laughing the whole time.  I literally laid her down earlier tonight, and before I could turn around and take two steps from her bed, she hurled a pillow at me!  She thinks it's a game and keeps throwing everything out.  Last night, she eventually wore herself out and fell asleep.  After that, it was very quiet the whole night.  We shall see how the rest of the week goes...

That's the news for now.  Thanks for stopping by!
