Big Girl, Park and GO Steelers!

Gabriella got her big-girl bed this weekend. Her crib converted to a toddler bed(she's been in for about 7 months) and then a full-size bed. She was sooooooooooo excited and hasn't stopped talking about her new bed. We had to rearrange the room since her room isn't that big.











Sigh.... my baby just isn't a baby any more.

Some pictures from the park yesterday.











Gabriella loves to wear her Steelers clothes and she gets so excited when we tell her she gets to put them on. Daddy is very happy that the Steelers won and Gabriella got to yell "Touchdown Steelers" lots today.




















In other news, we're starting to have some success with potty training. She's getting pretty good about pee-pee and often will tell us before she goes in her diaper. Until a couple of days ago, she was telling me she had to go when she actually had already gone in her diaper. She went about 6 times today on the potty and is staying dry longer. But, definitely not to the point where I'm ready to try undies yet. And really, I need to just buckle down and stay in the house for a day or two and take her constantly and maybe it would go faster. Nighttime training will probably be a ways off since she is a heavy wetter at night. And I'm not ready to have her getting out of bed and going to the potty alone in the middle of the night. Though, she probably wouldn't since she really doesn't wake during the night.

What an awesome bed.
Good job on the potty training, just like you I need to buckle down and stay home for a few days straight, to really get Liv potty trained for good.

Her lines on her bed are precious, and she looks like such a big girl.... Good luck with the potty.... I can't even imagine when it's time to train these 2!

I love all the pictures. She is always too cute! I think Gabriella and Bella had the same baby bed! Unfortunately, we didn't have room for a full size bed so I sold it! :( Hang in there on the potty training! She is doing good and it will all click soon!

I am thinking about going and getting a bed for Livi. Her room is sooo small that i think we would need a toddler bed. i am so against those. i think they are a waste of money, but her room is like a closet. anything else, might not fit.
