New bed!!

The day has come that Sadie now needs a bed instead of her Rocker Sleep and Play, which means someone else has to give up their crib. That's right, Blake is now in a big boy bed!! He is always thrilled whenever Scott does "guy" stuff, such as putting a new bed together, so he was kind of giddy the night we got his new bed put up. We decided to hold off a few days in giving his old bed to Sadie so there wouldn't be any crib attachment issues with Blake (thankfully, it either worked, or he wouldn't have had it in the first place, who knows, but at least it was an easy transition).

Quick intermission to go jump in the closet and hide :) 

Trying to get in the back corner so I can't see him. 

BOO!!! Gotcha (with my camera)! Annnnd as you can see, he loves the chase :) 

Realizing that hey, he didn't want to be "caught" on camera!

This game isn't any fun with the stupid camera, whine, whine, whine

Put it awaaaay

Ok, back to helping Dad

 

Blake took this picture of Scott :) 

One thing I like about the toddler bed is that Blake gets to keep his crib mattress b/c they are the same size. I think this helped with the transition b/c his bed felt the same to him. The mattress had a brief stay in the hallway, so Blake had to take full advantage of that.

And right back at it :) 

Hair flying, tongue out, and having a blast 

 Yes, we've had some slight hiccups in the transition, but they've been pretty minor. He fell out of the bed the first night and hasn't since! He does try occasionally to get up and play when being put down for nap or bed, but we just have to be strict with him and then he relents. Also, for some reason, he has been getting up around 5:15 a.m. to come and cuddle with us in our bed. It was cute the first time or two, but it is too darn early, plus he squirms, pushes on my leg with his (rough) textured footie pajamas, and won't let us go back to sleep! So, we've decided to put a stop to that, even though we love the cuddles. Since I am nearest the door, he comes to me first and Scott mentioned that he was a little jealous that I got so much cuddle time, so the next morning I directed Blake to him. Yeah, the jealousy didn't last long, haha! Scott decided it was too early and most importantly, Blake was way too squirmy. I think Blake's feelings were a little hurt this morning when we made him go back to his bed, but hey, he fell back asleep and we got to sleep in til 7:30!!! Well, kind of sleep in, Scott's alarm kept going off and he kept snoozing it. Finally I told him that I finally get to sleep in b/c both kids are sleeping and it is his stupid alarm that is keeping me awake! I can't win.

I have been surprised though at how functional I've been with limited sleep. I really thought I was the type of person that couldn't handle it. Last night was also the first time we've put Sadie in her own room b/c she makes too many noises at night and wakes us up, or keeps us up after she gets up to eat. We are still on two feedings a night, which I would like to make to one. She eats at 12 and 4 a.m. and if I could just push the 12 a.m. feeding out a couple hours, then her second one would be approximately the time I need to wake up anyways. We'll see :) The positive news though is that it worked great to put her in her own room and really opened our room back up without that crib!
