My Baby Isn't So Baby Anymore

Well, the time finally came... bye bye baby bed. :(
While I was away in New Orleans, Sophie took a nap in her big bed. And she also slept in her bed at night. And stayed in her bed ALL night long! I couldn't believe it. I was soo proud of her and kind of sad that I missed it too.
We had been talking to her about her big bed, so I think the transition was really easy for her. I learned with Zachary not to rush it with Sophie. I was so anxious to get him in the big bed that he wasn't really ready for it. He ended up in my bed every night! And I didn't want to go down that road again. So Gabe and I decided that Sophie would be the one to decide when it was time to sleep in her big bed. And it seems to have worked out great!
At first, when she would wake up she would call out for us. But Zach quickly told her, "Soph...you can get out of bed!" Lol! So now she will get down and come downstairs by herself. Luckily she hasn't done this yet when she is supposed to be sleeping!
It's so funny to wake up to her putting a movie in the DVD player and then crawling in bed with me to watch the movie!! She seems so grown up!

So the baby bed is gone and we switched Zach's and Sophie's beds. Zach has the smaller of the two, but the plan is to give him our queen bed when we get a new one. And Sophie now has a double, but it is more fitting for her. As Zach would say, "It's more girlie." :)
So, here it is... Sophie's new bed...

Lol, just kidding!! She somehow managed to squeeze herself in here! Hilarious!!
