I'm a Big Kid Now

Kyri and Graysen are growing so fast! They have both recently reached some major milestones and I have not been very good about posting it. So, here it goes!

Graysen thinks he's as big as his sister. So, why not wear her panties and boots?
I'm pretty sure he'll start a new fashion statement with this outfit!
Here's Gray sleeping in his crib (Yep, still with Kyri's panties on....and with her babies!)
And here's Graysen sleeping in his big boy bed!! (Sort of) We just put his mattress on the floor. We wanted him to get used to not being in the crib before the baby came. We found him in this position often, at first, and even completely off the bed. But he's getting much better at keeping his WHOLE body on the bed. (As far as we know)
We are SO proud of Kyri!! She has been potty trained pretty much since her 2nd birthday, but not night trained. So, she's been wearing pull-ups for over a year!! (thank goodness I finally started finding them cheaper with coupons :) ) We always figured we would have to night "train" her to get her out of her pull-ups. So, sometime between Thanksgiving and Christmas we made a BIG deal about staying dry at night. We took her out of the pull-ups and into her panties. She stayed dry the very first night!! We were so excited and thought, "oh, this will be easier than we thought!" We had a chart she could put stickers on, I bought her a special surprise at the store for staying dry and we really had high hopes. However, that was the ONLY night she stayed dry for the entire week. We didn't know what else to do. I was tired of washing sheets and blankets EVERY single day. So, we put her back into the pull-ups (sigh). Then a few weeks after Christmas Kyri was waking up with DRY pull-ups! We didn't want to get our hopes up too high, so we still had her sleep in pull-ups every night. After one week there was only one night she didn't stay dry. And that night she even woke up in the middle of the night to tell me she had a wet pull-up and she wanted to change it. When I was putting her back to bed she said, "I'm sorry I had a wet pull-up. I should have tried to keep it dry!!" OH! Of course I wasn't at all mad at her. SHe was doing SO great and I was just happy for the progress we WERE making. So, after a week we let her sleep in panties again and she has never had to go back to pull-ups again!! YEA!! She has only had a couple accidents and they were both when she was sick and I was having her drink as much juice as she wanted. Other than that, we have had a serious BIG GIRL on our hands....and we are SO proud :)

Here's our big girl sleeping in nothing but her panties. Apparently she got too hot in her jammies.
In the tub
Kyri was SO mad this day, but we really wanted to get a picture of her crazy hair! (She had buns in) We kept telling her to smile and this is the best we got!
One day Kyri got really sad about something (she was probably in trouble). She laid on the bean bag and said, "I want Gray!!"
So, he came a runnin'! And that was just what she needed to cheer her up.
We are SO grateful these 2 love each other SO much and play so well together!
Playing in the closet....a favorite of theirs
Decorating (or eating?) Valentine cupcakes
Kyri's and Gray's....not too shabby! Although, Gray didn't have too many hearts to put on his cupcakes because he kept eating his!! Haha
Chocolate cupcakes with cream cheese frosting....delicious!
