Growing Up

I forgot to mention two monumental events. Last Friday night (4/17) we moved Ellie to her big crib. It was very strange for me after having her beside me in the little crib for 3 1/2 months. Ellie didn't mind at all and went right to sleep. She has now slept in her crib for over a week and we have rarely had to get up in the middle of the night. Every once in awhile she'll wake up and want her pacifier but I actually think she gets to sleep better without the distractions of our bedroom. I kind of miss her but it is so nice to be able to turn on the light whenever we want to.

Secondly, Ellie took a ride in her stroller without the carseat for the first time last week. The straps are a little too big but she had fun anyway. We walked up to dinner at Chipotle and she stayed awake the entire trip just taking it all in.
