My 19 month baby is in a big girl bed! I was hoping she would stay in her crib till kindergarden, but it doesn't look like that will happen. ;) She started trying to crawl out a few nights ago(I think Little Gym might be to blame, ha!) We could see her on the monitor and we would yell "no" through our bedroom wall and she would lay back down like she was sleeping. So funny! I know she probably thinks we have eyes every where, if only she would think that forever! So we converted her crib to a daybed on Sunday night and she did much better than I thought. We put her to bed and she thought it was so fun that she could crawl into her bed on her own. We watched her on the monitor and she ran around her room for about 5 minutes, gathered up some babies to put in bed with her, and went to sleep. Can't believe it was that easy! Last night was great too. She loves now to tell us "night, night" and go crawl in her bed during the day. Today she put herself down for a nap, she ran in her room, shut the door and said "night night!" I thought for sure she was playing, but she fell asleep! I'm not going to lie, I cried the first night she slept like a big girl. No more crib just means my baby is getting too big! I'm looking forward to making her room more of a "big girl room" with new decor for her second birthday and I already have some bedding picked out. :)
We had to add the side rail the second night. The poor girl fell out of her bed three times the first night and just tried to sleep on the floor. She sleeps sideways in her bed like in the picture. The side rail has worked great, and we found a way to keep the bumber secured b/c she LOVES to sleep against it.

I can't believe it! what a big girl! I can just see it now... when my girls can climb out of their cribs, it's going to be party play time in their room! We might have to separate them! :) SO fun bumping into yall at Target! :)
WOW!!! That is exciting but sad at the same time. Glad to hear that she is doing well with it. I know that I will definately cry when Kenai get there.
WOW! What a big girl! I am so proud that she is doing so good with her big girl bed! We ordered, and are waiting on, the pieces to make Casen's bed into a big boy bed ... I am not sure I'm ready! I'm right there with you ... it means that they are growing up (way too fast!)!!
oh wow she is growing so fast! I was cracking up while you were telling the story of watching her through the monitor. Too funny.
OK, Addison is only like a month younger, right? I am so not ready for the big girl bed (makes me sad too)... but if she is excited about and sleeps as well as Avery, it might be better for everyone=) I love reading your blog, it's like a glimpse in the future for us with Addison, thanks for passing on all your experiences and wisdom=)
