Would you believe that Mirabelle and Jasper are all grown up and sleeping in their own room? Alright, you’re right. They most certainly aren’t all grown up. Not at all. But it sure is nice for Josh and I to have our own room back. We got a beautiful new bed that is pretty high up from the ground. Mira wanted to climb up into it and I warned her that she shouldn’t sleep on our new bed because she might fall off and bonk her head. A scared look crossed her face and she insisted that, “Mirabelle sleep in tiny bed!” Fingers crossed this’ll stick and we’ll have our own bed back once and for all!

We let Mirabelle sleep with us for a long time until finally she was in her own crib and bed. When Jasper was born she somehow managed to make her way back into our bed! I was pleased as punch to discover that Jasper didn’t mind the crib at all and falls right to sleep in it. He doesn’t even mind the pink sheets. I discovered sleep training without tears! Not really. I think Jasper was just more easy going than his older little sister was. Anyway, why was Jasper in the other room in his crib sleeping soundly while Mirabelle was kicking us in her sleep? Great question!

We made the switch. Well, we’re in the process. We have had M & J in the other room for over a week now and it seems to be only getting easier. The first few nights were laughable and it took them both a loooong time to wind down and go to sleep. We listened to them through the baby monitor as Mirabelle sang songs and Jasper peered out over his bumper cooing and giggling all the while. Now the novelty has begun to wear off. Well, not entirely. I went in and snapped a few shots to capture the memory, as they were just too cute! We put two twin mattresses together on the floor for Mirabelle due to her being so used to our king size bed. Good thing, look at her lounged out!

We went to Utah for the 4th of July and had so much fun getting to visit with family and friends. My cousin snapped these great shots of Mirabelle that I love. Sorry, Josh and I didn’t do a very good job taking as many pictures as we really should have!

Now we’re off for our long awaited and greatly anticipated vacation to see monkeys in the jungle! We’re going to stay up in the jungle on the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica for two whole weeks. Mirabelle has been gearing up for a long time and we can’t believe that by morning we will have arrived! I’ve almost completed my Rosetta Stone spanish lessons. In fact, maybe I should be doing another lesson instead of blogging! Hasta Luego!

P.S. Sorry about my lack of skill as far as the pictures spacing and what not…
