Well on Monday I decided it was time for Hailee to move to her big girl bed. I wanted to give her enough time to get used to it before the baby came. I also didn't want her to feel like her crib was being taken away from her.
I didn't really know what to expect or how it would all go down, but I think it's gonna be okay!
Day 1-Naptime-I held off as long as I could so I knew she would be tired. She is still mostly taking two naps a day, but today I decided to try one so she'd be tired enough to stay in bed. Well it worked. She cried for less than five minutes and after 20 I checked in on her and this is how I found her...
Now all I had to worry about was bedtime-we were good to go-five minutes and she was out-wow I thought. Today must be my lucky day, but I bet tomorrow is when it will get hard!
I guess I'll have to just keep thinking that, cuz she has been doing great. By the middle of the week I had left some books on her bed that she was "reading" and that stopped the crying pretty much all together. Now she falls to sleep reading a book, and I can't hear her when she wakes up right away because she's just reading a book.
I love that she loves books! When I peeked in on her I caught her just in time to see her laying on her back reading a book, then she sat up and closed it, and rolled over and fell asleep-what cutie!
Tonight I put her in her bed and gave her a book, then I asked her if she was ready to blow out the light. She blew, the light went out, the door closed and I haven't heard a peep. (I even put her to bed an hour earlier than normal, maybe because she only had one nap today?!)
Even better is the past two days she hasn't woken up at 4 (like usual) and has slept through the night till 6:30 or 7. -I probably just jinxed myself!
In side news...I was going to put up a growth picture of 20 wks and 30 wks but I don't have the 20 on my computer, so here I am at 30 wks.
and another picture I've been meaning to take for awhile...entitled "Ode to Grandma Hall"
She LOVES these socks! Anytime you say bats or Ho Ho Ho she does one of two things.
She either signs Grandma (meaning grandma gave me those socks)
or she runs to find her socks and makes you put them on.
Today we were sitting at the table eating lunch when she saw a snowman cup on the table she had to get down. She signed grandma, and I told her they were probably in her closet (thinking to myself I had tricked her because we took them off in the bathroom this morning!) Lo and behold she walks back out of her bedroom with one Santa Ho Ho Ho and one bat sock. Then we had to put them on! Thanks Grandma, I hope you know how much those socks mean to Hailee!

She is smart. I am glad the big girl bed is going so well. I hope it continues. Love the socks. I can't believe how fast the baby is coming...
No Santa pictures? It was that bad? The girls took a few years to warm up to Santa. And even now they just freeze while we take the picture.
I love the socks.
I am happy for and very jealous at the time same time that the transition to a big girl bed went so smoothly. I am not expecting the same and I really need to make the transition too. I am also glad she stopped waking up at 4! What the?! How do you have energy to function during the day?
Wow - congrats! She is making the adjustment very well it sounds like. I can't believe you are already 30 weeks along! You look fantastic.
Hooray for big beds. It's like magic. Go Hailee!
Good job on the bed. We have awhile for Dustin I think. I can't believe you are that far along. That's exciting it's so close.
Cute updates. I didn't realize that you had actually put her in the big girl bed. Go Hailee. I am so proud of her! Love the holiday socks. SO cute! In fact, Hailee is sitting on my lap right now and got so excited when she saw this picture!
