Not A lot Happening- But Some good Things....

With the exception of Baylee becoming increasingly obsessed with Minnie Mouse (the first thing she wants in the morning is for me to turn on Mickey Mouse Clubhouse) and her little monkey, not too much has been going on in our house. Ben had to shut the power off two Saturdays in a row, and then go turn it back on Sunday. So, this weekend we were happy to have a little break from that. We did a little shopping, compliments of tax refunds. Baylee made out pretty well, but Ben and I weren't able to find anything. Other than that, we haven't really done much.

On a more exciting note...
Our little Baylee is getting so big!!! She has gone to sleep in her own bed the past four nights, and slept in it until 6 -8:30ish in the mornings! This is a HUGE step for her, and we are so proud of her and how well she's been handling it. I just have to keep explaining to her that she is a big girl now and big girls sleep in big girl beds (hers is just a mattress on the floor next to me for now). Then I have to swaddle her monkey for her to cuddle (she's also pretty obsessed with babies right now and her monkey is now baby monkey and I am consently having to swaddle monkey for a "nap"). She's does really well and falls to sleep or lays there quietly after that. Not really any big struggles, although there are sometimes little ones. I know this isn't really a big deal to most people, but after her sleeping with me for the last year and a half, it is for me. She's also been doing some very cute things lately and has kept us laughing. She also can tell you what color everything is, loves to dance, and loves to sing in the shower or in her carseat (mostly Head Shoulders Knees and Toes, The Wheels on the Bus, and Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed). Too cute and too fun! I love the stage she's in right now. She's becoming quite the talker.

In other news..... Ben has this week of class left and is done with finals next Thursday, which means he is completely done with school!!!!! Yea!!! We are so excited, we just hope he can find a better paying job now....

Sorry for the lack of interesting things, this weekend will be a lot busier and we should have some fun things to say after the weekend is over.
