Goodbye Crib, Hello Big Boy Bed!

Our baby boy is growing up!! We recently sold our house and moved so we decided this would be the perfect time to transition McCoy into a big boy bed. We were both really nervous about how he would react to all the changes...new house, new room, new bed. He is a creature of habit!!! However, there was no need to worry! He's been in his big boy bed for a week and a half now and he loves it! I always lay down with him for a little bit until he calms down and before he falls asleep, I'll get up and he falls asleep on his own. It took him about a week to realize that he could get out on his own when he woke up but now he's got it down. I love being in the kitchen in the morning and hearing his door open and then seeing him come around the corner with a big smile on his face! Oh, and don't forget, the blanket and pillow are always in tow!! We're so proud of him but it's a little bittersweet! I knew it was something I had to do but sometimes I just want to put him back in his crib and pretend like he's still my little baby boy! Who am I kidding??? He will always be my baby boy!!!!

Here are some pics of his last time to wake up in his crib, his first night in his big boy bed, and one of his first naps.

Always smiley when he wakes up!


Making sure he gets a few last jumps in!

Getting Pop and Gigi in on the jump action!

First night in the new bed! Happy with his new room!

All this space means more flips!

Sweet baby boy taking a nap...love that face!

I'll post pictures of his new room as soon as it's done. We're really happy with the way it's turning out!!

Yay McCoy! I need to move Lydia but it just SO easy right now :(. Maybe she'll do as well as he did!! That last picture of him sleeping makes me want to crawl in bed!
