New Trick, Skirt, Hair

Brooklyn has a new trick as of the 6th of May. She was contained in the laundry basket so she couldn't crawl into stuff and she pulled herself up. She was very proud of herself for doing it. Now the crib has been lowered so she can't fall out.I made the girls these matching skirts with leftover fabric my mom had.Camrie's hair is getting so long I can't believe it.

The Park

We have a fun little park by our house. We took the babies for a walk over to it back in April. Camrie pushed her baby and I pushed Brooklyn.

Hanging out at Grandma's house

Swinging.Jumping.Sliding.Feeding the horse, one of Camrie's favorite things to do.

Jacobson Family Pictures

I love family pictures. I think that you can never do them to much.

I put Camrie's hair in curlers because pictures were in the morning and I wouldn't have time to get everything done if I hadn't. She thought it was way fun.Brooklyn put her sleeping mask on for some last minute beauty sleep before pictures.Here are some pictures we took throughout the photo shoot.

Downtown

Camrie slept over at the Jacobson's back in April and this is the contraption Papa Kib came up with so she could ride the bike they have there.We also decided that when they came to bring her back we would all get together for Cam and Leisa's birthday dinner because we hadn't yet. We went to Tucanos at the Gateway then made an evening of it. Camrie was a little tired at first.Brooklyn was being very giggly. Which was so not normal for her.Camrie decided that she wanted to tickle Brooklyn once she was more awake.Camrie got to pet the horse that was taking people on carriage rides.Camrie got to ride on papa.We were drawn to the frozen yogurt shop by the pretty lights all over the ceiling.Camrie loved the little sample cups that were just her size.

Sleeping Spots

Camrie has been found sleeping in some funny spots.

Under the piano benchOn her tableNext to my bed

She is a pretty good sleeper. She will sleep just about anywhere.

Today I decided it was the day to mess up her sleeping. I had her trade her old Binky in for a new toy. She was so excited for a new toy. She cut the tips of her Binky's off and we threw them away. She loved the new toy and because it was a big girl toy and not for babies she loved even more that we put Brooklyn in the jumper so she could get the big girl toy. Well nap time came around and she wanted her Binky's back or as she calls them "B's" back. I reminded her that she traded them. So she didn't nap. Then we went in the car and she always falls asleep there when she hasn't had a nap. Three car rides later still no sleeping. I thought that's OK we will just put her to bed early because she will be tired. In and out of bed with every excuse. Which is not any different from other nights but she didn't even act tired. Well 9:30pm rolls around and she is finally sleeping. No crying, not much begging, lets hope that we have taken care of that baby habit.

Girls room

The girls room is done for the most part. I still want to get a mirror that I can paint pink and some curtains.

Before
These guys had a thing for boarder wallpaper. It was in almost every room.
After
Painted the walls.
Put stripes on one wall. New doors and hardware. I still want a mirror the size of the magnet board that is next to the crib.
