New Bed.

Izze is great at messes. So anything I can do to minimize mess, I'm totally game. The other day it was getting a little quiet in Izze's room. I came in to find this:

Mess Maker.

She had ripped all the books off her table, pulled the covers and stuffed animals off her bed, eaten a cookie, colored on her face with a pen, and pooped a horrible poop. It was at this moment I realized we really did need a book shelf for Izze.

So we headed to IKEA to pick one up. After getting that and several other things we didn't really need we headed to AS IS. Jeremy noticed a paper for the bed we've been thinking about getting for Izze. We originally passed on the bed, because we didn't think Izze was ready, she was still nursing and still sleeping in our bed. She loved the bed though, from the start! The bed is normally $200. But we got it for $50, because the box was totally destroyed. We checked that everything was in the "box" and after seeing it was we took it home. We took Izze to pick out bedding. It was funny, I was telling Jeremy I wanted to "de-Hello Kitty-ify" her room and I tried to lead her to these cute sets with green and blue patterns. She wasn't having it, she finally had it narrowed down to Princess, Tinkerbell and Hello Kitty. I gave in and let her get the Hello Kitty, because I want the bed to be fun for her and I don't want her to be afraid of the change. I'm planning on using it as a back up after I find something I like for her room. No rush though, she loves this Hello Kitty set. My little girl is growing up too fast. I love it, but it's bittersweet. Don't get any ideas though, we're sticking to a one kid family for a long time. :D

New Bed.

She insisted on sleeping sideways, which made me feel better anyway. However, the height didn't stop her from climbing down the latter at 3:00 am and climbing into our bed.

Kalli and Izze Day 49

We're back on track with our 365 project.

I really love Izze's hands in this picture. She loves for me to put my hair in her face and shake it, she's always loved it, since she was a little a baby. I could giggle her all day.

We're both sick right now, so we're cooped up at home and we can't even go see Izze's new little cousin Kyson and we love him a lot already! Hopefully we get better soon!

Izze's been a big helper lately. With laundry she hands me clothes to put in the washer, sometimes she'll drag a basket to the laundry room all by herself. Then she helps me with dishes, she hands me the silverware to put away. And she understands so much now, if you tell her to put something away, she usually knows right where it goes. If we say get a diaper, she can lead you to it, when we take off her clothes she knows they go in her laundry basket. I love to watch her grow.

:D Being a mama is the best job in the world.
