A Big Boy Bed & A Bump

We hit a huge milestone this weekend...Luke is now in a big boy bed! A few weeks ago I mentioned that he crawled out of the crib, and then really didn't do it again. Well on Friday he did it again, and there was no going back! The second that boy would wake up he would swing his little leg over the side and throw himself over the side. (not that safest thing ever!) So Brian and I reluctantly decided, that it was time to convert his crib. He will be getting an official "big boy bed" in a few months, once we decide what we want, but for now his little crib works great in the toddler version.

Last night was our first attempt at sleeping in the "new" bed, and it went great! We had about an hour of walking around the room, escaping the room, sitting on the couch out in the loft, sitting in the rocking chair and reading, etc, before he finally fell asleep. Brian and I had to take turns telling him to get back in bed. We have a video monitor for his room that we mounted up in the corner of the ceiling and can actually see most of his room. It was quite comical watching all his antics while he thought no one was looking. Brian's family was over for dinner last night as well, and we all huddled around the monitor waiting for what he would do next. Too funny!

Once he finally did fall asleep, he stayed there all night! I unfortunately did not get much sleep, as I kept thinking he was roaming the upstairs and had to constantly check the monitor. =) He woke up this morning bright and early, and to my surprise stayed in his room until I came to get him! We are hoping for another good night tonight!

Nap today was a bit of a struggle. All he wanted to do was play and I watched him do all the things he did the night before, as well as, pull all the animals off his book shelf and put them in bed. He finally did go to sleep and slept about an hour. I'll take it!

Now for the pictures! Here is Luke and his daddy working away. Luke likes to mimic everything his daddy does, so he was hard at work on the screws.

Testing out the new bed.

He got under the covers and said "nigh nigh" all by himself. What a big boy!

I can't believe my baby is no longer in a crib! This day came sooner than I thought, but I am so proud of him! One more little thing to add is that Luke had another milestone this weekend. He said his first sentence! Brian's family has a little dog named Howie, and he was at our house last night. Luke said on 2 different occasions, "Where Howie Go?". At first I thought I was hearing things, but today during his "nap" I heard him on the monitor say "Where Daddy go?". He is growing up so fast!

And now to the bump. You always hear that you show much quicker with the second pregnancy, but I didn't fully appreciate it until now. I look about the same now as I did when I was 20 weeks pregnant with Luke. Here I am at 14 weeks pregnant. The first picture was last week and the second is 14 weeks pregnant with Luke. Oh and pardon the 2nd ugly picture, you would have thought I would have tried to look a little nicer for a bump shot. =)

It is getting more and more real that we are going to have a second baby, and we are so excited! I go to the doctor this week and hopefully will get to schedule the "Big Ultrasound", which I am hoping takes place the first week in April. Boy or Girl.....we shall see!
