Another Milestone

In one afternoon, this little house went from having three cribs, two changing tables, and one cradle to having one crib, one changing table, and two toddler beds. It was kind of a bittersweet day. I'd been talking up the "big kid beds" for awhile, and the kids faces revealed their excitement when they first saw their new set up. So far, it is going pretty well - thanks to Grammie for sleeping on the floor with them the first night!! We'll see how it goes from here...



Eli probably could have made it in his cradle a little longer, but he kept scooting up and bumping his head. It is still hard for me to believe that Grace & Isaac slept in this cradle together AND slept horizontally in it for the first few weeks after coming home from the hospital!! If you're not already aware, this cradle was a labor of love handmade by Papa - isn't it beautiful?



Sleeping soundly in his own room - for more nursery pictures, see January post.


Grace & Isaac's room before the big change. This was after moving their cribs from the "L" shape awhile back when Isaac started climbing into Grace's crib. Actually, it didn't stop him for long!



The new set up. Aren't those little beds adorable? Many thanks Aunt J. The quilts were made by a loving group of women from church when the twins when they were born. They fit perfectly on the beds, and the kids and I like the animals and bright colors.


It looks like this picture was taken in the middle of the afternoon, but it was actually quite late at night. Grace & Isaac are even quite different in their sleeping habits - Grace falls asleep and rarely moves, Isaac thrashes most of the night.
