Big boy

Andrew has become quite the big boy in the last week. He talks ALL the time (no idea where he gets that), he's become a little more adventurous with food (now he'll eat 3 different brands of nuggets), and he's mastered some physical milestones, too.

1. Andrew loves swinging, and he always has. Now, Andrew will ask for and tell you all about his adventures going "more higher" while he's "weenging".

2. Along with the fun of the swing, Andrew has finally made it up the ladder to the "big boy slide". (You have to read that like Andrew saying it. When he does "big boy" things, he uses a deep, growling voice to say "big boy slide".)

3. Lastly, and the most sad for me, my baby has made the transition to a big boy bed. He's not a baby in a crib anymore. Two weeks ago, Andrew tossed himself over the crib railing to freedom, so we decided it was time for the toddler bed. I wasn't ready for a toddler bed with no railing, so he slept in the pack-n-play for a week. We finally converted his crib to a bed and let him try it out. He was asleep in 3 minutes. Now, he asks for his bed before we are even done singing at night. Yay for him, boo for me.

Here's Andrew his first night in his toddler bed, January 26. He had been asleep for about 15 minutes when we snuck in to check on him.

During that first night, he got out (or rolled out) of bed 3 times, and we rocked him and laid him back down each time. The second night, he woke up once... Now he sleeps the whole night.

I can't believe he's such a big boy.
