More Pictures!

Clint and I took Kolby's crib out of his room over spring break. He is officially sleeping in a big boy bed. A plus (and minus) is he can get out of his bed by himself, open his bedroom door, and come downstairs. Sometimes it takes 2 times to get him out of his bed. He has gotten up twice in the middle of the night. THe first time I found him by the couch with the controler saying "Toons" at 3am. Last night he somehow ended up in our bed. I don't remember him coming to us but woke up to see him cuddling with Clint.








His first night in his big bed....

Kolby's Spring Pictures!

Here are the pictures we took at JCPenny yesterday. It took him a while to warm up but he had is silly side shown towards the end. It was so hard to pick pictures I wanted! I went with my favs and to show spring.

Here are the ones I got:







Some I didn't get but really liked!

Kolby is just growing too fast!

This week is my spring break so we are taking advantage of my extra time at home. This weekend we switched Kolby to his big boy bed. He had a full already in his room so Clint and I bought rails and put them up on Sunday. So far he has only slept in the bed. We have been having some problems with going to bed. We think his teeth and ears have been bothering him so he has been extra clingy at bedtime. I love laying in bed with him and reading him books. He is actually able to sit through a whole book or two every night. It is great to be able to have him get out of bed on his own in the morning. I have gotten a little more sleep.

I know it is early but we have started potty training. He is so interested in it and comes to us and says pee or poopy. Normally he has just gone. He likes to sit on the potty. We bought him his own little one! I don't have expectations for being trained anytime soon but we are encouraging it.

Kolby's newest trick is opening doors. I can't keep him out of any room! He is so fast it amazes me.

Tomorrow we are going to get pictures taken tomorrow at JCPennys so I will post those when I get them.

Videos

I loved editing and publishing these videos. Kolby sat with me today as we watched them back. He loved laughing at himself and even would repeat what was being said.

Kolby loves dancing and even singing along!

Fun Projects

First, I want to share that I finally received my diploma for my master's in the mail. It finally hits home that I have graduated with a Masters in Education (emphasis educational technology leadership) from the University of Arkansas!



Yesterday I took advantage of Clint being home and worked on a little project I have been thinking about. I love to sew and have been making rag quilts. I was finishing up my mom's yesterday. I had been thinking about designing a diaper bag that fit my needs better. I was currently using a backpack as the purchased diaper bag was too small. However, both bags had only 1 large compartment and several small zipper spots. I found the diapers got squished and things were always a mess. Plus there wasn't ever room for anything extra. So, I designed this bag! It has 3 spots insided divided by fabric. I have a spot for diapers w/ wipes, a spot for clothes, and the a spot for diaper cream etc. There is enough room on top for me to place his blanket or other items if needed. It is light weight and washable. I made it from receiving blankets purchased at goodwill. In reality it only cost about $8 to make and I had fun! It was a design in my head that I was able to make a reality.

A few more pics

Kolby and I 'made' cookies this weekend while snowed in. Clint took photos with his new iphone!

There is so MUCH snow!

I believe it snowed about 6 inches outside. They were originally calling for more but I think it is enough! Kolby loves looking outside. We went outside yesterday to play for a while. He is gradually becoming more playful in the snow.

2 weeks ago Kolby fell at the sitters and got his first fat lip. The little guy just doesn't slow down!


Clint got an iphone this week and Kolby loves helping him out!



Let it Snow Let it Snow! The snow was so deep that everytime Kolby tried to walk in it he would fall down face first. He kept laughing and then I think he was doin git on purpose!
