She's TWO!!!!!!!!!!

What a fun birthday Maggie had! Her big present was her new big girl bed! I searched forever for just the right bedding, but couldn't find anything I was happy with (except one comforter that was 1200 for just the spread-yikes!) so I decided it would be fun to make her bedding. Maggie's my special girl, and she is such a mix between pretty pretty princess and one of the boys, and she's got enough spunk for everyone in town! Anyway, I loved all the fabrics I picked, and thankfully the timing was perfect because my fabulous aunt was in town and she and my Granny had the whole thing cut and pieced in less than a week! I love how it turned out and it's exactly "Maggie" to me! Anyway, I don't have the decorations switched out yet, but the main part is in and now I can work around the bed. We took the crib out and put her new bed in while she was in school that morning, so it was all set up when she got home that afternoon. She took a quick nap in it, then it was off to Pump It Up for her party. We had a great day all the way around and it's so hard to believe my baby girl is TWO! She's already three months older than Will was when she was born-I can't imagine having another baby right now!!!!!!!

We love you Mags-Happy Birthday!

Crazy Jumping Girl!


Jumping in the crib on her last night to be one! This had become a nightly tradition-bath, PJs, dance party to Christmas music, jumping in Maggie's crib, stories in Will's room, then to their separate beds. Sad to see it go, but they've moved right on to jumping on her big girl bed!

My mom's first outing in who knows how long that wasn't to the doctor or the hospital-we were so glad she was able to come party with us!


Jumping on her new big girl bed! The transition was SO SMOOTH-this girl's happy as long as she can jump!
If you're wondering why she has this crazy smile in all her pictures, I was bribing her to take her pacifier out for the pics, so you'll notice it's in her right hand while she smiles, then she would pop it back in and move on with the fun.
At Pump It Up for her party-I got hardly any cute pictures, and the group one was kind of awful, but at least the two of them semi-posed for this one! I think he had just as much fun as she did and he's ready to start planning his party now!

Ready to take her first nap with some of her favorite babies!
Hanging out in the big girl bed

As long as I can remember, it's been a family tradition to have chocolate chip pancakes on your birthday. Since her birthday morning was also a school morning, and I needed them to go to school so I could change her beds out, I got up extra early and made the pancakes, got ready, got everything packed, and then sat around waiting. These kids slept WAY IN and we ended up having to rush through the whole breakfast (not to mention eat cold pancakes), but it was still fun. Clearly this is one of Will's favorites!
With one of her cupcakes from school-she had princess cupcakes to celebrate with her school friends!
During breakfast, we just put the phone on speaker when it would ring and lay it on the table so they could both enjoy all the singing and birthday wishes!
I just love this one because of those sweet looks they're giving each other!

Happy birthday Maggie! Her smile is contagious and it looks like she had a great Birthday!
I love the bedding and think its soo special that you guys made it esp for her! I also love that bed! Where did you get it? I really need to transition Adalie into a big girl bed soon but have no inspiration. You may have just given me some!

Cute bedding Summer!! Did you QUILT that???!! I'm super impressed! The kids are getting SO big and just as cute as could be! You got me motivated to get Luke out of his crib. I've had his big boy bedding for months now! Grant did great with the transition even before he was 2 but Luke is SO different, I'm scared to give him the freedom!!

Oh, and sorry I'm the worst blogger in history! I'm just glad my friends are better than I am! ha!
