Big Girl Bed: Take 1





So, we decided to go ahead and attempt the "big girl bed" for Hannah this past Sunday night. It was a little more emotional then we thought it would be. It is one more visible sign that she is growing up right before our eyes. Becoming more and more independent as each day passes. We couldn't help but think of all the different milestones of her life the past year and a half. Smiling, cooing, rolling over, sitting, crawling, walking, no more bottle, feeding herself, talking, etc. Those moments were and are so precious.

So far she has done surprisingly well. We did put a pack and play in her room just in case! She seems to sleep great at night. She only got up once early this morning around 5:30, but when I took her back to her bed, she went right back to sleep...maybe she was sleep walking?? Who knows? Naps have been somewhat interesting however. Up and down, up and down....but eventually she has fallen asleep! So, I feel hopeful we are off to a good start. I have to admit, it was super cute to see her slowly open her door this morning and peek out as if to say, "is it time Mommy?" And then she got in bed with us to watch an exciting episode of "Baby Einstein." We'll see if we have to retreat and go back to the crib, but for now, we'll keep trucking along.

I love it! I can't wait until she can sleep in a big girl bed at Auntie Amee's house:)

Love the pictures! She is growing so fast. The youth bed is a milestone and I can just see her peeking out the door. So Sweet :)
Love you all,
