Making Changes

This weekend has been a weekend of change for us. First, we decluttered our house and had a yard sale to "make some change." It felt great to get rid of clutter, and it will help us baby-proof our house as Katherine is quickly becoming more and more mobile and curious.

The bigger change we made this weekend is to move Katherine to her very own room, in her very own crib!! Mommy and Daddy were terribly sad to make the change because we've loved having Katherine so close to us at night, but Katherine was waking up increasingly often, and was clearly ready to move to her own space.

The transition went incredibly well for us. I'm always nervous to brag about how well a baby sleeps, because it seems to jinx it, but I want to commend Katherine on her wonderful sleeping. She cried a bit the first night, but now we just put her in her crib, give her a bunch of kisses, turn George's music on, and then we don't see her again until the morning! She also goes down for naps without crying, and has finally fallen into a regular routine. It is slightly challenging that we will now have to plan our days based on when she is due to nap, but we are all happier and better rested, so a little structure definitely won't hurt us!

Certainly there will be road bumps and nights that are long and exhausting, but we're happy with the changes we've made, and extremely blessed with such a wonderful baby!
