last night she got to play with her magnet wall for the first time (her hair is a mess and she is just about to go and get her bath). she has since figured out how to put her pictures back up on the wall, but not in the video. she has had a lot of fun playing with the magnets today and thinks that it is fun to have all of her big toys in the new playroom. we don't have everything in there yet because matt is planning on replacing the carpet with hardwoods soon and we need to get some storage furniture on our upcoming trip to ikea (after we have the ultrasound). enjoy the movie.
i was reading an article in parenting magazine today (okay it was more of a 1-2 year old feature than an actual article, but anyway...) and it was saying how an attachment to a stuffed animal or blanket is actually a sign of independence an a major milestone at this age. so we have been allowing "friend" (aka "bear") to be out during the day. i just point out when she is sucking her thumb and tell her that is just for bed time - so far that is working great.
i have a crazy day at work tomorrow so that is all i have for tonight. love.

That magnetic wall looks like so much fun! Very neat. I can't wait to see what fun and trendy storage devices you pick up for the new playroom. I'm sure the room will look like its straight out of a catalog when you're done :)
I love that wall! So cool!
I believe the article about the stuffed animal with independence. Annabell is one of the most independent children I have ever seen. Almost too independent, where I have to watch her every move so she doesn't run too far away. She has had "dolly" since around 5-6 months and loves her dolly. She will carry her around when she is tired or wants to cuddle. The doll is so beat up already, we'll see how long she'll last! Can't wait to hear about the ultrasound! Do you have a feeling either way?
We were just talking about doing a magnet wall in Mason's room. You will have to email me and let me know your thoughts!
