Recess Monkey Concert

Colbie went to the Recess Monkey Concert at the EEU and had a blast!  She enjoyed seeing her friends from school and loved the guitar playing and singing.  She was a dancing machine and was even a bit adventurous; dancing on the stairs with the big kids.

Bye Bye Paci

We have been discussing pulling the pacifier for awhile now.  So when Colbie got a cold and could not breathe through her nose or use the paci successfully we decided to go for it.  Colbie has done great, I'm so proud of her!  Also Jon and I are really enjoying sleeping through the night (we would reinsert the paci once a night). 

We gave Colbie a new stuffed Boo doll to sleep with, which she thought was pretty cool at first.  She willingly gave her pacis away to Aunt Cole's baby.  She has never asked for the paci back, but reassures herself often "for aunt Cole's baby."  After two weeks of no pacifier she is a little less happy to go to bed at night, would rather Boo sleep on the changing table, cries/fusses for about two minutes before playing or going to sleep, and sleeps through the night without a peep.  We are very happy with the result!

Big Girl

Colbie is looking and acting like such a big girl lately.  She recently inherited my old wallet and wont leave the house without it.  She also takes her cell phone, keys, credit cards (used gift cards), lipstick and of course Hello Kitty purse to hold it all.

Off to school

She insisted on wearing four bows and kept them in for most of the day :)

Nicholes Baby Shower

Colbie as been asking about Auntie Cole's baby a lot lately and was very disappointed she didn't get to actually see the baby at the baby shower.  She did start to understand that the baby was in Auntie Cole's tummy by the end of the weekend.  I think she will be much more excited when she actually arrives, so will I!  Nichole is due April 18th (one day after Colbie's birthday).  I'm very happy the two girls (only two years apart) will grow up together.
