New milestone!!

Ella hit a new milestone and I am so proud of her!  First, let me begin with the last month or so.  She has been sleeping in a pull-up since February and has been staying dry almost every night for a couple months.  I asked her a month ago if she would sleep in panties and she replied, "I'm not ready yet."  Then she started to get what I thought was a typical fall cold the day after her three year appointment.  Three weeks go by and still has a runny nose so we go to the doctor and she has her first sinus infection.  Get the prescription and come home for dinner, etc.  At 7:00 I'm almost done feeding Bennett and she comes in and says, "Mommy, I'm going to lay down."  I said I'd be right there.  Not even five minutes go by and I go in to read her a book, but she was asleep in bed.  It was actually a little sad to see her in her bed still in her clothes and bow in her hair sound asleep.  She was so tired she didn't even put on a pull-up!  I talked it up all day yesterday and then last night she put on panties!  What a BIG girl!!  I'm not really sure if this counts as a milestone, but I'm calling it one.

Bennett is still growing like a weed and waking me up once and sometimes twice at night.  Why does a 20 pound 4 month old still wake up to eat at night?  He can almost roll over, but it's hard to get all those rolls all the way over! :)

Here are a few recent pictures of the two kiddos.
