He must be.
We just had his new furniture delivered today and moved the baby furniture (except for the crib since he's still sleeping at night in it) into what will be the baby's room. And I cried.
As much as I've been excited for this day to come, mostly so I could redecorate a room, I can't help but wonder, where did my baby boy go?
I'm so excited to finally get to decorate with sock monkeys. I can't wait to get some wall decor up and make a little nook for the sock monkeys I have collected over the years that I can pass on to him.
He naps in his toddler bed here that my mom found at a resale shop for $35. The next step is to get him to sleep in it at night. We'll probably start that next week. He'll sleep in that until he's potty trained so he doesn't ruin the nice full size mattress. I hate that the wood doesn't match the new furniture, but it's temporary.
Today, after his furniture was delivered and assembled, I laid him down for a nap in the toddler bed without having to read him books or rock him. I simply put on his Rockabye Baby CD he loves, turned off the light, and I heard his tiny, beautiful voice say, "Night, night mama". And that was all it took. He slept for 2 hours and 45 minutes and waited to get out of his bed until I came upstairs.
I'm just in complete awe that we're at this point with him already. And just because I think he's the cutest thing ever, here's him trying to feed the statue of a Tiger a cracker:
It looks great! Can't wait to see it in person. Enjoy these years . . . you seem to lose them quickly!
