Adventures in the big boy bed!

Well last weekend I took the side off of Aiden's crib and things have been going well. He seems to really like his new set up - I even let him pick out his own new bedding (Toy Story) and when he sees it he says "yee ha" (so cute) We rock through our one song and he gets out of my lap and climbs right into his bed - such a big boy!

Yesterday he kept playing instead of taking a nap and he was leaning up on his new safety bar and he totally flipped his mattress off his bed. I think he was more shocked than anything - I just happened to be watching in the monitor - it scared me!

He hadn't actually tried to get out of his bed when he was awake - until this morning. I woke up to the sound of him trying to turn his door knob (he doesn't know how to open the door yet) and then him knocking. It made me chuckle. He was pretty excited when I opened the door.

I'm happy that things have been going pretty well with this transition. He's getting so big!

converting the crib

well - tomorrow night i am taking the side off of aiden's bed and adding the safety side and giving aiden his big boy bed! i can't believe it!!

anybody have any last minute tips for me??

2 year check-up (and other odds and ends)

as the nurse said - today is aiden's last baby check... my little man is growing up!

he weighed 29 lbs 1 oz (69%)

he is 34.25" tall (45%)

he had to get one shot.... HepA - as soon as the nurse put her gloves on he got upset... but he did okay - he cried - when it was all over he clapped his hands and said "yay" as he cried... I gave him his sippy cup with milk and he wanted it but still cried... eventually he calmed down. the rest of the visit was pretty uneventful. 

and in other news....

this weekend i will be taking the side off of aiden's crib! he will officially be in a big boy bed!! i can't believe it...

oh - the tail end of last week i got sick.... strep! i forgot how horrible that disease is! i was miserable!! i had some great friends help me out with aiden and the great grandparents... i need adam home!

aiden is able to actually talk on the phone now without hanging up on people AND actually holds a teensy bit of a conversation. it's cute :)

aiden plays with a purpose and he uses his imagination... i love seeing him learn and grow!
