Rease's Big-Girl Bed

We have been planning on getting Rease a new bed for a while, but just this past week finally decided to do it. After a few trips to IKEA we decided on one and brought it home. I didn't think that it would be as easy as it was to get Rease to sleep in her new bed, but the minute we had it set up she was all over it. As you can tell by her face in these pictures, she loves that she is a big girl now and doesn't have to sleep in the crib anymore. She's even pretty good at staying in it when we put her down for naps or at night for bedtime. And when she wakes up she quietly knocks on the door to let us know she is ready to come out. She made this very easy on us!

Yeah for big girls!

Sisterly Love

I am getting so excited for Rease to be a big sister. For a little while I worried about how she would react to having a new baby in the house - someone to take all the attention from her. But she has been so cute during this pregnancy and has gotten into the habit of kissing Baby Rhen and pointing to my belly whenever Rhen's name is mentioned.

I don't think I have to worry about this big sister loving her baby sister!

Friends and kids

A few weeks ago I was able to spend some quality time with a couple of my friends from high school. Brooke just had her darling baby boy Cooper and Misha and I met in the middle and visited her in Manti. Baby Cooper is so cute and it was so fun to get together and catch up. Misha brought her little Sammie and she is cute as can be. We had a great day together and I wish we could do it more often. I love these girls - thanks for a fun day together!

Rease's Obsession

I love my little Rease. She is the type of girl that is easily distracted but when she is focused on one thing, she is really focused. Recently she has been obsessed with the movie Wall-E. If you have never seen this movie, you would think to yourself "that's a weird movie for a little girl to like." But if you have seen it, you'll understand how darling it is and love it for the fact that there is not much talking, but the characters are so so cute. Anyway, Rease has taken her Wall-E obsession to the extreme and we watch Wall-E about 3 times a day. When she wakes up in the morning she says Wall-E, after naps - Wall-E, anytime we are in the car - Wall-E, we have a Wall-E poster hanging on our fridge, a stuffed Wall-E and Eve, a Wall-E plate and cup, you name it. She can say most of the characters names when they come on screen and repeats them over and over throughout the day. She has never been a big TV or movie watcher, but for some reason she can sit through the whole Wall-E movie without a flinch. I've tried putting princess movies on or even 101 Dalmations, but she gets easily distracted from them and only makes it about 10 minutes before she's on to something else. Anyway, love her - she is obsessed with this darling movie.
This is Eve - or according to Rease "Ev-a"
If you haven't had a chance, you'd love this movie. Or Rease could tell you all about it next time you see her!
