Birthdays and Big Girl Beds

Our good friends, Becky and Steve, invited us down last weekend to celebrate their daughter's first birthday. We hadn't seen Abby since she was about 6 months old and she's gotten so big! It was great seeing them, seeing how much Abby has grown, and celebrating such a big day. Unfortunately, the Pate's don't have a blog, so I can't link you to it...but they should get one!! :-) (Just kidding, Becky!)
This weekend, we took the drop rail off of Rosemary's crib and converted it to a toddler bed. So far she's taken two naps and gone to bed 3 nights in it. The only time she's gotten out when we've put her down is at naptime. The first time I think she was up about 14 times. Thank goodness we did it on a weekend and Jonathan could help with putting her back in. Eventually, she did fall asleep in her bed. That night, she didn't get out at all, just went right down. When I got her up in the morning though she'd gotten out of bed and was sitting quietly in the glider. The next day for naptime she only got up once then went back in and fell asleep.
And yes, that's a latex glove in her hand. She likes to put them on whichever appendage is easiest to reach. The other day at church she had one on her foot for a good half hour.
