With a 2nd one on the way, and Sean just turning 2 we have wondered when and how to make the transition from crib to bog boy bed . . . . lets just say Sean is apparently ready.
I don't have a video or picture of it yet, but the other day when Jane was watching Sean she heard a loud thump during his nap-time and a knock coming from the inside of his door. She said she opened the door and he was standing there and said, "Hi". This was the first time he has done this (thanks Jane for handling it so well) and lets just say his bedtime routine lasted oh, only 2 hours of putting him back into his crib again and again.
So the next day we broke out the big boy bed. I picked up some "fast car" sheets which he cuddled with all day, and was super excited to try it out. We were nervous about having another long night, but here is what we got instead. I suppose if he is sleeping in a big boy bed that means he really is a big boy. Oh, and yes, we do have a frame, it was just not in the house yet.
On another note, Sean still loves music and the other day he and Ryan had a little jam session. I don't know what this new move is - the spinning round and round and round - but I think it works for him.
I did not take nearly enough photos of the shower - I was truly blessed and honored. Thank you Rebekah, Mandy and Polly for putting on such a wonderful party for me and this baby girl!
On another note, only 5 weeks to go until the "due date"! Crazy huh? especially considering that my school does not get out for another 3 and a half weeks.
2. Watching Sean grow into his own person, developing interests, likes, dislikes. He is our little man.
3. Getting to watch this amazing man be a father.
4. The simple joy it brings me everyday
5. little hands, little feet, little nose, big belly
6. when Sean spots me acrross a room, or playground, and comes running back over yelling, "Momma, Look!"
7. Little babes turning into little helpers
8. Sleeping babies
9. Days that I don't make dinner
10. Moments like this:
We even got to see the brand new penguin exhibit - it really is awesome.
Followed by lunch and run around time in the park
Then a casual dinner outside and a few presents
Like this cool train set from Grandma and Grandpa K.
And ended the day by stopping by Mandy's party - thanks Mandy for sharing your party with Sean, and especially for the special little cake . . . . we will be working on the whole blowing out the candles bit :)
Sean got an Elmo balloon from Alicia - in the car the windows were open and Elmo was bumping around some. This is Sean's reaction:
