First pedicure!

So, it's official....Allie is no longer a baby. She is officially a little girl. Proof? She had her first pedicure this week! Granted, it was a Mommy pedicure and not a professional pedicure, but she thought it was great nonetheless.

Here are her very cute pink toes!


Allie is off to the beach with her Granny for her first "real" beach trip. Yes, we took her last May just before her first birthday, but she didn't really care much for the heat, the sand, and the cold water. This time, she has been SO excited about going to the beach with Granny. It's all that she has talked about for the past week. Seeing the fish and the dolphins and the whales, and riding on the boat, and swimming in the ocean, and feeding the birds, etc, etc....you get the picture. So, off they went yesterday. Allie did great on the 5-6 hr car ride. When she got to the condo, she apparently needed to spread her goldfish crackers out on the table to count them before eating her snack.


She also did great sleeping in a big girl bed last night for the first time! Allie is just too long for the pack-n-play now, so we had to come up with another sleeping option. We found some bed bumpers to put on the guest bed at the beach condo (here's a picture from the website where we got the bed bumpers).

Granny says that she went to sleep with no problem. She woke up one time and asked for a sip of milk and then went right back to sleep! I'm so proud of her for sleeping so well in a real bed for the first time....she really is growing up! I know that Allie will have a great time at the beach this week with her Granny....but I miss her already....

Another piece of evidence that she is growing up on us....we took Allie for her 2 year check-up yesterday. She weighs 31 pounds and she is 36.25 inches long! Both of those measurements are at the 90-95th percentile for a 2 year old little girl....see, I told you she was growing up!

We have a big day planned for Will tomorrow while his big sis is at the beach....Will is going for his first haircut in the morning! Look for pictures to follow!
