February 2010

February brought a couple of new milestones to the Grant house. The first one was that we bought bunk beds for the girls since we need the crib and Ellie's bedroom for the new baby coming in August. Josie was so excited about getting bunk beds and getting to sleep on the top bunk. She has slept in bunk beds before, but we weren't really sure how it was going to go when it was the real deal. She loved it and it even keeps her in her own room a lot more often.
About the same time we got the bunk beds I kicked Josie out of our bed. Knowing the my belly was just going to get bigger and there would be less and less room for her. The problem was that she had gotten so good and sneaking into our bed a lot of the time we didn't know she was there. She knew that climbing over Daddy was the way to go, he doesn't wake up for anything and she just snuggled right in and I wouldn't know she was there until I was falling out of the bed. So we set her up a place on our floor to sleep if she wanted to come in during the night, but with the bunk beds it is rare that we find her there in the morning. Part of it is probably because it is too much work to crawl down in the middle of the night.
The other big Grant family milestone in February was that Daddy turned 30!!! I waited for this day for 4 months, so he would stop giving me crap about being "old" since I turned 30 in October. We had a fun day celebrating Daddy"s big day. I think that it has been hardest on Brian's family who can't believe that "Baby Brian" is 30 years old!

February also brought us some more visitors, Anya and Krey! (Their parents came too) We had lots of fun visiting with them for a long weekend. We took them to the zoo ( I did say that's one of our favorite things to do.) and the Daddy's got some golfing in. Unfortunately Ellie got sick during their stay with pneumonia, but that let Josie have a special day to spend with her Aunt Michelle and cousins at Enchanted Island, a small amusement park, where the girls got to go on rides and even got a treat at the end of they day. It was so much fun to hear all about the fun day they had. (I'll have to get some pictures from Michelle and update later.)

That ended the fun in February. After Ellie got sick it was all down hill, Josie got pneumonia too and we ended up in urgent care and the doctor's office several times the last couple of weeks in February. After about two weeks of sick kids we were all healthy again and back on track. Thankfully all our visitors got were a couple of runny noses!
