the new bed

It took some time to figure out when and how to transition Henry into a bed. He has started jumping in the crib every now and then, as well as kicking the wall and rails. I thought we'd get him a regular twin bed, but the ones we saw were so high off the ground or they had really sharp corners at the foot. After a few hours in IKEA it finally all came together, and we found this bed. It is low to the ground and will adjust into a regular size twin bed. The mattress comes in pieces so we can add on as we lengthen it. It is the perfect bed for Henry, and he is quite happy in it.
He finally got to see it yesterday. Here are some shots of his very first moments:






Now we read books in his bed before naps and bedtime. He took his first nap in his bed this afternoon but will continue to sleep in the crib overnight until we can eliminate the furniture that he can climb.




My baby is growing up!
