Big Girl Bed

We moved Jane out of her crib yesterday and into Katherine's bed as it has the half railing. (I don't know why Jane's face is such a mess, she's got chapped cheeks and must have taken a face plant yesterday as her chin's all scratched up - no bar fights though, I promise).

She did great last night, stayed in bed all night until I heard her this morning around 6am. When I went in to get her she was sitting in her new big girl bed waiting for me. I think she did so great last night as she only took one nap yesterday and was exhausted. Nathan tried to put her down for a few more as she was a wreck, but it wasn't happening.

This is what her room looks like now with the new bed. She loves being able to get in and out, but I think she's most excited to be able to get her blankie and animals without reaching through every slat until she finds one that she can reach far enough through to get whatever she's after.

We took the front of the crib off and moved it into Katherine's room.


We'll leave it like this for awhile, Katherine likes not having the half railing in the way anymore.


In a couple more months we'll move Jane into Katherine's room so they can get that all figured out well before Alice gets here. Yep, we're going to name the new baby Alice!


We'll get Katherine a twin bed when it's time for the baby to move out of our room and into the nursery (Jane's current room) but that'll be a good 7-8 months from now so no need to buy a bed and store the crib for that long.

Nathan took this pic of us girls this morning, I just know Alice was looking at the camera and smiling too!

That picture is the best! I mean, how often is it that you can get BOTH kids looking at the camera and smiling?? For us, it's a big production. :)
That's exciting that Jane is in a big girl bed...we'll be transitioning Collin in a bit & then making the boys share a room. That should be interesting. haha!

And I LOVE the name Alice! It's darling.

That is so adorable! Great picture. I can't believe how grown up Jane is looking! I can't wait to see you guys again...but I guess it probably won't be until this summer.
