HELP!

So one of my New Years resolutions this year needs some help. It's more turning in to a February resolution... I want to get Leighton to sleep in her crib!! (Possibly through the night?) Yes, she has been sleeping in our bed for the last four months, and it needs to stop! Have I already ruined our chances? With all of our moving around and traveling it just became a habit. I actually found it really convenient to have her by me all through the night... for awhile. Now our "co-sleeping" arrangement isn't so helpful. If we go anywhere that has a smaller bed Davis ends up sleeping on the couch because he doesn't want to wake her up/ roll on her.
I know there are some strong oppinions about the pros and cons of co-sleeping, but now I would like to undo it. ANY suggestions would be appreciated! Routines, tricks, bribes, sleeping pills :), ect... I feel like I spent all this time finding the 'perfect' crib and the cutest bedding; shouldn't I get to use them?!

Grammy Tami, Leighton, Emily, & Grandpa Paul

Ali & Amanda!

Opening Elmo Live! (Leighton loves it)

So here is a few more of our Holiday pics. We were able to go up to Idaho for 10 days over New Years, and it was so much fun. I love anytime that we can go up, but it was especially nice to get to stay for that long. So much better than the quick weekend trips when 2 days are wasted driving! It was great to see everyone (friends and family)! We just happened to pick the week that snowed almost every day or was freeeeeezing cold. Good old memories of growing up in Idaho!

Holidays

Leighton and her cousin Harley, or Santa and his little Elf! (and she's a month older than him!)

Loving Santa. How is she even 0ld enough to know to be scared?!

Cowgirl up... Christmas morning

Grandma Kelley and Papa

Christmas Eve

So this is a few of our Christmas pics! I know they are pretty late, but better than never! We stayed in St. George for Christmas this year, and it was great! There was even snow... so I felt right at home. The Snow family had huge parties with tons and tons of food and family. It was a lot of fun to see everyone and be together! With all of the holiday fun Leighton is now sick. So we are on our way to the dr's! More pics to come...

Little Smiles

We were able to go up to Idaho for Thanksgiving this year and had so much fun. I was so thankful that we could make the trip, and even more grateful that Leighton slept through the car ride there! It was great to hang out and spend a long weekend with my family. The food was amazing, as always, and the company was even better. They love spending time with Leighton every chance they get! (I mean, who can really resist her?) I loved it and can't wait to go back up for New Years! I really love this time of year.

Happy Birthday Davis!!

"Happy Birthday" to my amazing husband. Today, December 3rd, he turns 26!! Crazy. He didn't even realize how old he is! I just wanted to say thank you so much for all you do. We have had a crazy year together, with a lot of unexpected things happen. No matter what the events were, you were always right there holding my hand. I am so happy to have you by my side. You always step up to make sure that we are taken care of. The last 2 1/2 years have been so much fun, and I can't wait to see what the future holds. Thank you for always making me laugh, setting goals with me (and breaking them!), and being such an extraordinary daddy. Love you forever.

First Halloween

So Leighton started off the day as a cute pumpkin! I was sooo excited for her first little Halloween. I love dressing her up. I know the picutre with the skeleton looks a little mean... but she loved it! He would talk and laugh, and his eyeballs pop out. She had the biggest smile on her face. (Even though I couldn't catch it on camera.) She really couldn't take her eyes off him! She finished off the night as our little pea pod! I loved her little face peeking out! The costume was more like a sleeping bag on her. It lasted for about 30 minutes, but it was worth it!

Ok... I couldn't help it... Twilight the movie comes out in 21 days!
