Messy house, Halloween, & A Tale of Cribz

Well, I took this picture one day ago...and it still looks about the same...
My little Leopard


A Tale of Cribz

My little lady learned how to climb out of her crib today. What an accomplishment! And boy was she excited! She spent exactly one hour and five minutes climbing out and being put back in again by her ever so patient Mommy until she finally fell asleep for her nap an hour and 40 min. after I put her down. I sure got my exercise today!
Amazingly, I really did keep my patience. I knew that this was a battle I was going to face sooner or later and that consistency is the key in eliminating this behavior. She thought it was such a SUPER FUN game...until she got really tired. But it worked! She stayed in her crib and is sleeping soundly...for almost an hour now. Thank goodness! Now the transition to the big girl bed... ay yi yi.

Crawling out of her crib? What a strategic girl! She is so cute in her little costume.

And about all that hunting..wow! I thought three days was a lot! Hopefully you have lots of good venison to last through the winter.

Give your belly a pat for me! xoxo

You call that messy? J/K Olivia looked very cute in her costume. I still can't believe she will be 2 in March. Crazy how time flies.

I can't believe how much Olivia looks like you - seeing her in her costume - looks like you when you were younger. I bet you hear that all of the time!

We either hear she looks just like me, or just like Ryan...depends on the person telling us and which one of us THEY knew when we were little! :) But personally, I think she looks like me...I'll have to post a pic from when I was her age.
