Time For The Big Baby Bed

Why do our little ones grow so fast!?  Our little Evie Doll has officially grown out of her bassinet.  She's graduated to the bigger baby bed, most commonly known as a crib.  We finally found this to be a necessary step when Evie woke herself up three times one night because she had scooted to the end of the bassinet and started kicking it.  She had completely run out of room.  I mean, she only had about 1 inch to spare.  When I heard her wake up and could tell she was kicking the bassinet, I immediately got up and scooted her back up, but it didn't last.  I felt horrible the next morning that she couldn't get a good night's rest because her bed was too small.

I know that some people think that it's plain old ridiculous to keep your baby in her bassinet AND in your bedroom for 3 months, but we couldn't help it!  We absolutely LOVED having her near to us.  You should have seen our sad faces in our room when Evie slept in her crib for the first night.  It has taken some getting used to . . . that is for darn sure!

I thought it would be fun, or rather interesting, to pull a similar picture from when Evie was only 3 weeks old and compare it to now . . . 3 months old.

Is that kind of crazy, or what!?  Her 3-Week picture isn't the greatest because I didn't capture the whole bassinet, but it's definitely clear to see there is quite a growth difference.

Then, I thought you might want to see her morning progression once we wake her up.  We un-swaddle her and she always takes a GIANT stretch (or five).

Stretch, Evie Girl!

Here's a good shot showing how she fills up this little baby bed.  She's got her arms that easily stretch from side-to-side and her foot pressing up against the bottom edge.  How did she grow this fast????

Time for the crib! I'm too tall for this thing!

 And, all throughout her stretching, we get beautiful smiles like this one!  What an angel!
