January Fun

January usually goes by slow because the holiday rush is done and winter has set in, but so far it has gone by really fast for the Bassett family. I never blogged about Christmas but it was so fun and it was great to have Todd home for a few days! Addy loved her gifts but when she had woke up on Christmas morning she forgot that Santa had come and we had to remind her to go look at her presents!
Adalyn is now potty-trained! YAY! I have been trying to get her potty-trained for so long but finally it just clicked and it's been so easy! She really loves it when she gets Potty Parties. I mean really, who doesn't love Potty Parties?!? Another big step for Ads is her big girl bed! She loves it and we haven't had a problem keeping her in it at all. I can't believe how fast she is growing up. These are all little things, but to me they are HUGE!
Last night I finally got a real night of sleep! I don't know what to do with myself...I kind of feel rested! The girls share a room and so Brynn hasn't slept through the night in months. She would wake up at least 6 times a night and then finally end up in our bed so she won't wake up Addy. It has been horrible. Neither Todd nor I can sleep with kids in our bed. So, now that we have a toddler bed we put that in our room last night for Addy to sleep on and we let Brynn cry it out. She only cried for a little while and then she slept the WHOLE NIGHT! I am so thankful for the little miracles!
We are so excited for 2009. Each year gets better and better and I am excited for the new adventures and good times we'll have.

Brynn is all smiles and laughs these days...well, most of the time.

So cute!

They're getting SO BIG!

Your girls are sooooo cute! I'm so jealous that you got a good nights sleep. I need to follow suite (or suit????) and just let Matai cry it out! We'll see!
I had a Johnny Jump Up for Sea. By the time he got old enough to really bounce in it, he was over the weight limit for it!! LOL
