Bassinet to Crib to Bed

We finally pulled the plug and did the ol' switcheroo on the girls! Piper has been in a bassinet since she was born. And let's just say, she's outgrown it just a bit. We've kept Elliott in the crib because we have been telling ourselves that we'd be moving soon and didn't know what we would need when we moved. So we kept them as is, thinking Piper wouldn't outgrow her bassinet before we moved. Well, we're still here and we were in need of a change! So we did it. We bought Elliott a toddler bed, packed up the bassinet and put Piper in the crib. They love it.

I was worried for Piper because she had gotten so used to her tight space, I wondered if a big bed would upset her great sleeping. But she seems to love it! And her sleeping patterns haven't changed.

I was worried for Elliott, because of the terrible time everyone seems to have when they put a toddler in a bed after being in a crib. The first few days went great. She loved it. She went right to sleep at night in it and did the same for naps! I thought, great! All our sleep training has turned her into a wonderful sleeper. What a great mom I am! Ha. That lasted all of 4-5 days. Now she gets up 10-15 times at night before going to sleep and naps have been all over the place. But we are persevering and hoping it will get better!

Here's to bigger and better things! But, ah, why do they have to grow up?!

Yeah, I'd say it was time to move to a crib...

Last night in her crib! 

Big girl! 

And into her big girl bed!

Piper was really tired that night (hence the red, crying face) but I'd say that fits her much better.
