sleeping in her leggings

She is getting too big for her cradle! SOOO SAD! I am not ready to move her to her room yet. It is all the way across the house from our room and she is still getting up around 2-3 times a night. I thought about moving her port a crib into our room but I guess I should just face it--she is plenty big to sleep in her own crib in her OWN room! I just don't know if I am ready...

Crafts and Leggings

Craft #1: I was wandering around Hobby Lobby one day and saw these framed crosses made out of buttons. I thought "HOW CUTE!" They had a few different colors but none that would match Sophie's room decor. So leave it to me---I AM GOING TO MAKE MY OWN! And that is just what I did! The background of the cross matches the next picture. The bible in the picture was Sophie's Easter present from my parents and her name is engraved on it! VERY SWEET. The other girls have the same bible as well.

Craft #2: I finally finished Sophie Coming Home picture. In here is her coming home from the hospital dress and bow, her birth announcement, a picture of her at birth, and her name (of course). I used large scrapbooking paper for the background and it matches the background of the cross above.

A friend of mine had these leggings made for Sophie. THANKS again Lacy!
I know, I know the outfit is mismatched but the leggings were a last minute idea. Sophie doesn't like to have her legs covered up at night so I thought this was a good idea to keep her legs warm without having to wear long pajamas.

CLOSE UP OF THE LEGGINGS!

(at the top are bumblebees-very cute and I'm loving the bumblebees!)

Luvies

WE CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT OUR LUVIES!

It all started with Madalyn. She was about 5 months old and we were shopping at a Disney store. She lunged out of her stroller and towards this pooh bear blankie. So of course, being first time parents (like that matters-we would have bought it no matter what number parents we were) we bought it and she has been attached to it ever since. Still in pretty good shape considering it is 7 years old!

When Loraly came around, we knew we had to get her a luvie also because these things are amazing! So she got the bunny! You can see how ratted and torn her is---or should I say how "LOVED" it is. We still can't go anywhere without it!

And of course we couldn't leave Sophie out! . She got the lamb. Notice the trend-all three girls have pink animals but they had to be different animals. Sophie hasn't become too attached to hers but she does enjoy loving it every once in a while.

to go private or not to---that is the question...

I have received 2 comments from people that I don't know. It makes me feel a little uneasy. The first time it happened, once I opened the comment it totally messed up my entire blog and I had to correct TONS of things. Then I got a comment today that was from someone that I don't know but luckily I have set my settings to where I have to view the comment before it is posted, so when I received the email, I immediately deleted it when I realized that it was from someone I have no clue of who they are. And now I am scared to open up unwanted comments from people that I don't know because it may mess things up on my computer. I don't want to sound ungrateful for comments because I love them from friends and even friends I only know from blogger but I don't want to jeopardize my family's safety.

Is going private the way to go these days?
