Moving down!

So today was kind of a big day in our house. Such a little thing really, but to me it seems huge because Izzy is just getting to be so big!

This picture explains a lot. This morning I had no choice but to finally break down and lower her crib. She is starting to really pull herself up onto things. I kept mentioning it to Joey and my mom that we really need to do it, but I just kept putting it off because it kind of is a big milestone. I feel like she is moving down in the crib but is just growing to fast for my heart to handle.

This morning at 3AM, she woke up talking away and ready to play. She does this quite often lately. She talks, plays, moves around and turns her little safari on. Sometimes we just let her and other times we will go in and reposition her. Well I had gone in once and found her just sitting their playing with her nuk, chatting away. I laid her back down and I went back to bed. After about 15 minutes of her chatting, she is suddenly crying. And it is not her normal whine it was a legitimate cry. I jump out of bed and run to her room and she is trying her hardest to pull herself up and I think she started crying because she got stuck. So I reposition her and the entire time I am pondering if I should just take her back to bed with me because I am not lowering her bed at 345 A.M. but yet I am nervous about leaving her there. Well I end up leaving her in her bed but I was on high alert for any big movement. She was of course fine but this morning I knew their was no more procrastinating. Her bed needed to be lowered. And I did it. And it looks different. But I feel better because I know she is safer and I can relax without worrying.

As I was lowering her bed I remember not that long ago putting it together with her in my belly and now I am having to lower it for her with her playing right there. The time is just moving so fast.

So yeah, not a huge milestone, but kind of a reality check for me. She is not going to stay my baby forever. In my heart yes but not in real time.
