She's a BIG GIRL Now! (and so excited!)








Rachel was so excited when she walked into her room this afternoon and saw that I had switched her crib into a big girl bed. I guess I've known she has been ready for quite some time, but it was me... wanting to keep her little and my baby. She was grinning from ear to ear and jumped into her bed. She had to give all her things a good loving and snuggle and try it out and then she practiced jumping from the bed to the floor (now she's into jumping out of it... figures... =). We have a bed rail we used with Noah, but we're going to wait and see how she does. With her giant doggy laying on the floor next to her we know she'll be safe if she rolls out onto it. Wish us luck though, keeping her in her bed!...
...and she did great laying down and staying in bed tonight. I put her to bed at 9pm because Amie and the kids were here and were playing a little later than usual and she actually stayed awake until almost 11. She didn't get out of bed or make a single peep. (Knock on wood that she keeps doing that for us). She's such a little night owl...



...and here she is on her last night in her crib... last night... awwww.... She is sooooo ready, and I guess has been for a while... I just kept waiting for her to climb out... No luck with that. =)
