cribs are for babies!

On Friday I put Jozlyn down for her typical afternoon nap in her crib. About 1.5 hrs later I hear a 'knock knock' at her bedroom door...from the inside. Uh-oh! I ran to the door and opened it to find little Jozlyn on the other side just staring at me like "what the heck did I just do?" I didn't hear a thump or anything on the monitor so she must have climbed out like a little monkey but landed gracefully like the sweet polite little girl that she is (oh, come on people..she is!). haha. I hugged and hugged her as we met in her doorway thinking that it could have been a bad situation. Right away I ran to get the tools and pieces I needed to convert that crib to the thing I have been dreading ever since the girl could stand up.... a toddler bed.

Daddy gets home and an hour later we have her new bed all ready. Jozlyn even helped him unscrew the bolts with a crayon. :)

Is it weird that this makes me sad? My first born little baby is no longer in a crib. I was trying not to be that 'emotional pregnant woman' and held back the tears as Jozlyn climbed up into her bed on her own. It seems like just a short time ago we were putting her in that crib for the very first time.

Well, my little toddler is doing GREAT in her new bed. It's such an easier transition (so far) than I thought. Plus, it's one more thing checked off my to-do list before the new baby comes. I'm so proud of my little sweetie pete, and can't believe how she is growing into a little girl right before my eyes.

just a glimpse

here's a just a little glimpse into a typical day with joz and mommy...

lunch time!

i'm a pro at the big girl cup

i use my fork most of the time but still try and sneak in a fist full of food when mommy's not watching.

i have the funniest mom ever!

hanging with her bff, checking things out outside (aka sout-side in jozlyn language)

blowing mommy a kiss


and a hug!! (told you she was a sweetie!)

playing with her favorite toy

you just gotta love the little purse of the lips when she's concentrating. it's her trademark.
