Yesterday marked another major milestone in my precious little peanut's life. Hailey Elizabeth Maupin graduated from crib (enclosed and trouble free) to big girl bed (FREEDOM- channel Braveheart here)! She was totally thrilled with the new addition to her already rather crowded and completely fun filled room. In fact, its all she can talk about.
First the crib came down. Hailey was so very, very helpful, using her own tools to be daddy's talented assistant.
Then the big girl bed assembly began. There was only minimal stress on dad's part, and luckily no swearing from either of them :)
The finished product is adorable and oh-so-big-girl. She loves it. And I am happy to report that she was exhausted enough on her first night in it that she knocked right out and didn't escape until morning. What a champ!
I do have to admit, that although I am excited to no longer have to lift her into a crib, I'm a little sad that she is THAT grown up. And I know the reality of it is that most kids her age have been in big beds for a while, my baby girl has loved her crib and I have loved having her in it. But, its time to prepare for the new addition. So the white crib (THANK YOU JOHNSONS!!!) is already in the attic and the new crib is in the office/spare room/nursery. Yep, there is lots and lots and lots to be done...

WOO HOO - big girl bed! Now keep sleepin' through the night, little one! And give your Mommy a BIG hug from me. Love, Auntie Kristy
Now I have the pull-ups song stuck in my head, "I'm a big kid now" bom, bom.
It is kinda sad that Hailey is already big enough for a big-girl bed. I was thinking that about katie when I try to figure out how to get her off the bottle. Part of me doesn't want to.
But soon enough you are going to have a great new bundle of joy that won't even yet be big enough for the crib!
Wow...a BIG girl bed! And she looks so excited about it; so cute. You go Hailey! :-)
Hailey almost looks too big for her new bed!!! I'm so glad she's staying in it...you are so lucky!! Freedom isn't always a good thing for 2 year olds! Can't wait to be there! Gammy
