Valerie is now in a big girl bed in her very own room! She has been sleeping in a crib in our room since we brought her home last summer. This was working well for her but not so well for Todd and I. Valerie still bangs her head alot in her sleep and the whole crib would rattle loudly each time. We decided to try to move her to her own room and I worried that it would be a difficult transition. It worked out great and everyone is sleeping better! She pats herself and says "big girl" when we put her in bed. She has gotten up a few times and we just tell her to go back to bed and she does it with very little protesting! I think she is more comfortable and I haven't heard much head banging going on since the switch. I still have the crib up in our room. I feel a little sad because my baby really isn't a baby anymore!
This is the sure sign that Valerie is sleepy. She even sucks those fingers in her sleep.
She is so proud of herself!

Just so precious! She is so so cute! I'm just so glad God gave her to yall! And the big girl bed is a huge transition!!
We adopted a little boy from Khabarovsk back in 2002 and the picture of your little girl sucking her fingers is identicle to what he would do! He is 7 now. He was 15 months when we brought him home...2 days before christmas. Congratulations on your daughter.
She is absolutely precious. I loved the picture of her sucking her fingers. Our granddaughter does the exact same thing. Kenzie also made the transistion to a big girl bed easier than we had imagined. Isn't is amazing how quickly they grow up! It is kind of sad that they aren't babies any more, but aren't we thankful for the amazing progress they are making. I would love to get together again soon. Let's pick a place and a date!
Happy Easter
