Big Boy Bed!

I can't believe it, but at only 19.5 months Logan is officially in a "big boy bed" (toddler bed). As many people know, he was in our bed EVERY night. He would go to sleep in his crib just fine, but a few hours later would wake up and want in our bed. Well, there finally came a time where he would not even be happy in our bed. He would wiggle and ine and keep us up all night. So, we decided to give it a shot, and it worked! I guess maybe he just felt trapped in his crib or something. At first he would wake up and come into our room, Rob would just put him back and and he would cry for a minute or two and then he'd go to sleep. Before when we would do that with his crib he would cry for up to an hour before giving up. Tonight when we laid him down for "night night" he said "bye bye" and "night night" to us before we closed the door. He's getting so big and this definitely makes me feel like they are growing up too fast!

Been too long!

Wow, I realize that I haven't updated the blog in quite awhile. It's been a busy couple of months and it just got away from me. Hard to believe that the kids are 19 months old already! They have been talking up a storm lately, repeating just about everything we say. It's so great to hear them develop a vocabulary.

In August we started taking them to a day care twice a week. I think they are really starting to enjoy it. They get to play with other kids, different toys, and just get to get out of this tiny house! At first Logan and Clara would cry when we dropped them off, but just today Logan didn't cry at all and Clara just whined a little bit when we left. So I think they are getting used to it and making new friends!

The first week of September we went on vacation to Branson with the Moyers and the Baiters. That was a great time! The kids had a lot of fun. it was kind of cool so swimming wasn't exactly the best activity we did, but we attempted it and got one use of their swimming suits! :-) We all stayed in one condo which was pretty nice. The Sanders clan had the whole top floor so that we didn't bother anyone. Although we were usually the first to get up in the morning. I think everyone enjoyed themselves and it was nice to just get away for awhile!

Well, I am sure I am missing a lot that has happened in the last two months but will try to remember and blog about anything big that happened!
