It has been awhile

So, it has been awhile since I last blogged about life in the Queen household. I will try to catch everyone up on what has been going on.

- Callie is still sleeping in her big girl bed and loving it.

- She is talking a lot lately. She can say so much. She is just like a little sponge. She amazes me with her new words daily.

- She took her first trip to the aquarium. She is now obsessed with fish and whales. She runs around and says ish, ish and whale.

- Since she is obsessed with fish, she has found a new love for Nemo. She calls him Memo. It is so cute.

- She can use the DVD player. She knows which DVD is which. She knows when she wants to watch Elmo or Nemo, will find the DVD, and go put it in correctly. I am not sure if this is a good thing or not.

- She loves to jump- on anything, anywhere. It is so cute... until she falls and hurts herself.

- Callie loves her Little Touch Leap Pad. She loves to read Pooh and the Rainbow fish (of course, he kind of looks like Nemo!)

-I (Jasmin) finally graduated with my Master's degree. I am so proud of myself :)

- Kevin is still working hard. There is a new senior VP at work he is currently trying to impress. I am sure he is doing a good job at this. He impresses me daily.

-We are going on a cruise on April 27th. We are going to the Bahamas and Key West with my dad and stepmom. We are so excited to get to go on a family vacation.

Big Girl Bed

Callie had not been sleeping very well in her crib, so we decided to try a big girl bed. We bought a toddler bed on New Year's Eve and thought we would try it out. We took Callie to Walmart and let her pick out a pillow case and blanket to make the bed her own. She chose a purple monkey pillow and blanket. We took apart her crib and showed her the new bed. We thought she might be a little skeptical, but she wasn't. She got right in her bed. She got up twice within the first hour, but then slept through the rest of the night. We were so excited. The next day, nap time was a little rough, but she finally got to sleep. She is now loving her bed. She doesn't get out during nap time or during the night. She wakes up in a great mood and seems to really love her bed. She is officially a big girl now...not sure how mommy feels about that, but daddy is very proud!!
