Where do YOU sleep?

For the first two weeks Grant slept in his hospital bed.



Then for his first night at home he slept in a bassinet (but didn't like it).


Then for the next six month he slept in his car seat (snapped in a swing which would rock him all night...who wouldn't like that?) Always wrapped in a swaddling blanket.

Sometimes he would sleep during naps on his boppy.
Other times he would nap in his bouncy chair.


Occassionally the floor seemed like a nice place to nap (with Bugsy).


Still other times it was fun to nap with mom and dad.



Finally after six months of sleeping in the car seat Grant started sleeping in his crib.


Sometimes it was still fun to nap on the floor (or in this case on the dog bed).

And after a long day Grant would fall asleep in his car seat.


So here we are twenty months later and where does Grant sleep?
In his new toddler bed.


Yesterday I found a jogging stroller on Craigslist and went to pick it up. The lady also had a toddler bed in her garage that said "for sale". We had originally planned to move Grant from his crib directly to a twin bed but for $20 I couldn't pass up the toddler bed. So instead of a big leap we took the small step last night and moved Grant to his new toddler bed. At first he cried for 5 minutes after I shut the door but then he started talking to himself and within 10 minutes he was a sleep. Notice the music box which also moved for the crib to the bed....he loves that thing. I heard him turn it on twice last night. He slept great on his new bed - no getting up in the middle of the night and better yet he didn't fall out of bed once. Hopefully tonight (the second night) will be just as good!

I'm so jealous of your collection of sleeping baby pictures! I wish I had more of my kids.
