A great view of the dresser. Can you tell I'm proud of it? It was an old wood dresser with tacky (sorry mom) handles. My parents used it when I was a kid...so we took it and spruced it up!!! And I absolutely love it! And my friend Shawna (the same one that took Averie's pregnancy pics, and hopefully this baby's preg pics soon)gave me the idea...I have to give her that (she is due in December)!

So...Averie is now a big girl! She slept in her big room last night for the first time! She did very good...she didn't have any problems sleeping (she almost never does), Daddy woke her up this morning to get the day started early because we have an appt. at 2:15 (right in the middle of her usual nap-so I could put her down for an early nap). And when he woke her up this morning, she stood up, signed bed/nap and laid back down. Silly girl. Guess she likes her new room! She is napping in there as I type! We did the usual diaper change, sat in the rocker and I sang her two songs and put her in bed. As soon as I sat in the rocker, she signed bed. One thing that was weird last night was walking by the nursery...the very empty nursery and having her not be in there. It'll be even more weird when there is another baby in there!!! In 37 days! Unless today's visit with the Dr. moves me up...hopefully not...but we'll see! Well, I have dishes to do and must get on the the road by 1:30pm! I'll post later! :o)
