Crazy Hair

At the Millington household, several of us have what is called 'crazy hair' :) Olivia will usually ask me for a hairbow because she has crazy hair! This morning Livi brought out her doll and said "she has crazy hair like mommy!"
Not really sure this is a compliment!! :)

On another hair note I finally had to break down and trim up Anna Kayt's wings as we like to call them. It made me soo sad to trim them but it does look sooooo much better! We used to call this her hacidic Jew hair do :).

Precious!

Just wanted to post a few pictures of this sweet face! Santa brought her a new swing for Christmas and since the weather has been so warm so far this winter we have spent a lot of time on the swing set :) i love the smirk in the second picture!!

What a big girl!!!

This past month has really shown me what a big girl Olivia has gotten to be. She has kept asking to sleep in her big girl bed but I have just really been against it. She slept so great in her crib I kind of hated to ruin a good thing. I have just heard horror stories of friends kids who get out of bed at all hours of the night and won't take naps anymore so I just didn't even want to attempt. I really did not want to give up any much needed sleep time for my self .. Ha. So reluctantly we decided to go ahead and let her try. After a longgggg talk about how she cannot get out of bed by herself and that mommy has to come get her when she wakes up we walked out of the room to see how she would do. Let me just say how proud of her I am!!!!! She has been in her big girl bed for about two weeks now and has not gotten out once!! Yay!!! She is even sleeping longer than she did in the crib ( til about 8 ish) and is taking great naps!I am just praying that this will continue :)
Also this month we took Livi to see her first movie at the movie theater. JR and I took her to Alvin and the Chipmunks and she loved it!! Sat there the whole time all the way until the credits . Although that did involve some bribery with popcorn, m&ms, suckers, and coke... You gotta do what you gotta do :)
Livi at the movies :) She did not want to look at my phone because she was too involved in watching the chipettes!

This is Livi the first morning she woke up in her big girl bed :) Not a good pic but she wouldn't let me take another one. She told me 'that's enough mommy!'
