1 year difference

2009



to 2010My baby boy is getting so big!

Time Line

So - the whole plan was to do the same thing with Gracie that we did with Mr B about moving from the bassinet to the crib. The thing is, we had to get Mr B out of the crib and into his big boy room at least a month before I wanted to switch Gracie - I didn't want him thinking that she was stealing his bed away, and I wanted to make sure he was comfortable in there before she took over his baby room :) BUT - my schedule got all messed up. We moved Bradley from our room to the baby room when he was 7 months old. This is Gracie about 7 months and quickly growing out of her bassinet as you can see!Problem is, at this time Mr B was still in his crib. We had been putting together his big boy room slowly but surely and it was just about all ready for him, but then circumstances out of our control happened and we figured out we had to move. I don't really want to get into it too much, I'm upset about how much and how many people already know because I think it's a pretty personal thing, but it's kind of hard to explain to people that we're moving when everyone knew we weren't planning on it and didn't want to. In a nutshell - we dealt with the wrong bank when getting a mortgage, got stuck in a terrible loan that no one in their right mind would be able to keep up with, and bank wouldn't work with us. SO - anyway - this threw me all off. In August I knew that we would have to move soon and didn't want to get the kids all moved and settled in just to move them again to a whole new room in a whole new house. So we kind of had to be in limbo for a while as we got things figured out. So Gracie had to move to the pack in play in our room since she was odviously too big for the bassinet. And the newly decorated, painted, and all ready to go big boy room for Bradley sat there empty. Urgh... I'm still depressed as I write this and frustration is coming back. Anyways - on to more happy things :)
