big boy crib!

this weekend, mccoy started sleeping in his crib! burt and i were going to wait until he was sleeping through the night but that day seemed far away...he was doing good in our room in his pack-n-play, waking up only once a night, then he went back to his younger days where he was up at least three times a night...so we decided he might just need to be in his own room with no distractions...he's doing so good! we're still waking up about once a night, but we have somewhat of a routine...and we started swaddling! mccoy hated being swaddled, but when he wasn't sleeping well, i brought the miracle blanket back out...at first, he was unsure of it, then he hated it and now he just knows this is how it's going to be...this is how i find him every morning-crooked!


in his room, we replaced all the windows because they were old and single paned...even though, the new ones were beautiful, especially with all the natural light, babies don't do well at nap time with all that 'natural light'...so we put up these curtains that have the blackout liner in them and they are awesome! no light in there during the day...it's now our little nursery cave!

  1. Oh, the challenges of sleeping! I 100% agree about swaddling, and Lincoln didn't get to nap or go down for the night for at least the first 4 months without the swaddle. What a lifesaver! You will all figure it out, and it will be heavenly.
