They'll always be my babies....

Sarah Beth's last night in her crib....how precious.

Sarah Beth's new "big girl" toddler bed! She loves it!

Sarah Beth finally got the pink pig "Pinky" that she's been wanting for several weeks, now. This was her reward for finally "pooing" in the potty rather than her pull-ups! Whew- glad that's over!

Sarah Beth decided to trade in her "pacies" for a new Disney Princess camera. She was a bit hesitant to give the pacies over to the lady at the checkout, but she did it. We've had a few rough nights with her going to sleep (that's the only time she wanted one in her hand and one in her mouth, but she spit it out as soon as she fell asleep), but overall, we think she's done quite well. The checkout lady slipped them back into my bags for safe keeping! I'm just glad she went along with it all and didn't think I was too crazy!

They're just growing up WAY TOO FAST! Richard and I just keep thinking how it was truly just yesterday that they were those helpless little newborns keeping us awake all hours of the night. Now, they are so independent, have their own little personalities, and have learned so many things! We have made MANY milestones in the past several weeks. We had a sort of furniture swap....Matthew got a new twin size bed, Sarah Beth got his toddler bed, and the crib, yes my babies' crib that has been in the nursery for 5 years, now, has a resting place in the attic. I just can't give it up, although I know I will have no more babies to sleep in it. We're saving it for the grandchildren (boy, that's hard to type, much less imagine!). So, we officially have "real" beds for them, and they're quite happy with that.





Matthew's toddler bed.

Matthew's last night in his toddler bed.

Matthew's first night in his "big boy bed." I had moved the nightstand out of the way b/c I just knew he was going to fall off the bed. He hasn't, yet, thank goodness!
