Someone slept in his crib for the first time.....

That's right - Our little boy reminds us daily that he is growing up and last night was his first night out of the bassinet in our room and in his crib in his own room!!

Drew has to get up every morning at 5am for work and when Aiden was going down late and then getting up for his feeding, it didn't leave Drew with much time to sleep - so after a night of giving him a break and taking Aiden into the guestroom and sleeping in the big bed with me (yes I know you shouldn't do that but stay with me here people) anyway, it seemed that Aiden slept so much better in a bigger bed. So, after testing this theory out another night it became clear that Aiden moves around a lot in his sleep and he would turn into the walls of the bassinet and that would wake him up. That said, last night we bit the bullet and moved him into his own room.

Now, mommy and daddy had two different views on this one. Daddy was excited to see that his son was getting bigger and moving into his crib and mommy was sad that he was leaving our room!! :( There was something very special about all of us in the same room together and after all the hospital stays - it just seemed normal to all be together. I know all you moms out there know exactly what I mean! But, with the help of modern technology in the form of our video monitor - not too many tears were shed.

OK, so I cheated and took the picture with his afternoon nap today instead of last night, but you get the idea! He actually slept from 10pm, woke up at 4:30 and took a bottle for 15 minutes and slept till 8am!!

Small little monitor to the right is where I watched him from....for most of the night!
Daddy and Aiden slept great! Mommy on the other hand.....not so much. First night down - rest of his life to go......sigh....
