Big Girl!

Elena is becoming a big girl now! She sleeps in her own room (although she wakes up once in a while). We had a rough first few days but it didn't take as long as I thought it would for her to get used to it. When bed time comes around I say "Elena, lets go upstairs it's time for mimi" and she responds by saying "ma room?" Asking if she is going to sleep in her room. I answer yes and she starts heading up stairs. The first few nights I would leave the lamp on in her room thinking that it would help her be comfortable and feel safe but then I realized the light from the neighbors across the street came in the room and so I starting turning the lamp off after she fell asleep and she ended up sleeping even better during the night. I can say that I have definitely found a huge difference in my rest! Except for now I get up to pee all the time...

Now all we need is for her to be potty trained and then I think we will be set! She will then officially be a big girl!! Here are some pics:


She likes to wear her sun hat around the house. I think she knows how cute she looks in it!
She thought it would be great to wear Christopher's sombrero......so funny!
She was supposed to EAT the Oreo....
She is all clean and super cute!
Just the two of us...
